Empower Pharmacy To Open New Manufacturing Site In East Windsor

EAST WINDSOR, NJ - Empower Pharmacy, a provider of tailored specialized medications for individual patients, will be opening a new location in East Windsor, Mayor Janice S. Mironov said.

Empower will be occupying 170,000 square feet of the existing Aurobindo Pharma building at the intersection of Princeton Hightstown Road and Old Trenton Road. In April 2024, Empower Pharmacy acquired all site operations and assets including the existing workforce of Eugia US Manufacturing, a wholly owned subsidiary of Aurobindo Pharma.

A privately held company, Empower Pharmacy provides high-quality, affordable medications, patient-specific based on the prescription and need. The East Windsor site will become Empower Pharmacy’s second FDA-registered manufacturing site, joining company facilities in Houston, Texas.

The East Windsor facility currently is staffed by 90 employees across all divisions and functions with plans of expanding to 200 personnel in 2025.

“The opening of Empower Pharmacy further strengthens East Windsor as a niche for pharmaceutical and high-tech businesses and expands our Route 571 Einstein Alley corridor,” Mironov said.

“Empower Pharmacy, which is on an ambitious growth pathway, is making a significant investment in East Windsor and adding large numbers of high value jobs. The continued expansion of high-tech and pharmaceutical research and development companies is exciting for East Windsor Township.”

Empower Pharma is in the process of a significant capital investment of upwards of $100 million to retrofit its portion of the building into a sterile medication manufacturing facility incorporating state-of-the-art instruments and equipment.

The retrofit will include the construction of separate manufacturing lines and clean rooms to promote high-quality sterile processes and support testing services for clinical trials.
