Germany’s B. Braun Group of Cos., Orange County’s second-largest foreign-owned company with nearly 1,700 local employees, is planning extensive renovations to its Irvine facilities as part of a $1 billion investment in new and enhanced IV therapy manufacturing facilities it has across the U.S.
The medical and pharmaceutical device company’s Irvine campus near the Diamond Jamboree shopping center will see modernizations to its manufacturing facilities, to help “expand capacity of critical IV fluid production,” it said in a statement last week.
A distribution facility in Ontario is also getting upgrades, the company said.
B. Braun’s domestic operations are based out of Bethlehem, Pa. Facilities in Pennsylvania are also part of the investment plan, along with a new facility that will be built in Florida.
