Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Vaccine Production Expansion

Project Case Study

Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health (BIAH), headquartered in St. Joseph, Missouri, selected McCownGordon to expand the existing Building B on their 70-acre campus due to a need for increased production capacity.

“McCownGordon has been an excellent partner over the last five years. Their experience in pharmaceutical construction and clean room construction has been vital in making several BIAH projects a success. Not only do they have great experience but have shown to be flexible as a company and easy to work with. I am very satisfied with their performance and will use them again in the future.”

Boehringer Ingelheim Animal Health Manufacturing Facility built by McCownGordon

The complex project included two complete floors, an interstitial level and mezzanine/penthouse. The facility was designed and constructed to meet international quality-control guidelines.

Construction included selective demolition, laboratory casework, installation of process equipment, HVAC and HEPA Grid Systems, airlocks, clean rooms, electrical, instrumentation and controls, and process, plant utility and standard plumbing piping.

McCownGordon’s has grown a strong relationship with BIAH and has also completed multiple other projects including two new bioreactor manufacturing lines, a new killed and live virus filling line, as well as an upgraded filling line that was converted from a killed virus fill line to a combo killed and live virus fill line.
