Pitt County’s Role in North Carolina’s Biomanufacturing Growth
Did you know Pitt County is part of North Carolina’s BioPharma Crescent, a powerhouse region for biomanufacturing and life sciences innovation?
Stretching from Research Triangle Park to Greenville, the BioPharma Crescent links world-class research, education, and advanced manufacturing. Pitt County serves as a vital connection in this statewide network of innovation and opportunity.
Industry leaders such as Thermo Fisher Scientific and Catalent produce life-saving pharmaceuticals and biomanufactured products right here in our community. These facilities provide hundreds of high-wage, highly skilled jobs while driving investment in workforce training, technology, and education.
Through strong partnerships between East Carolina University, Pitt Community College, and local industry, the county is building a future where manufacturing and biopharma innovation thrive side by side.
We’re proud to celebrate the BioPharma Crescent’s impact on manufacturing and community growth during Manufacturing Week in Pitt County!
