Gov. Bev Perdue announced today that international biopharmaceutical company Talecris Biotherapeutics is expanding its manufacturing facilities near Clayton.
Talecris will make the investment over seven years.
"The competition for these types of jobs is fierce," Perdue said.
"The fact that Talecris has found the tools it needs to succeed in North Carolina shows why this state's business climate is consistently named as the best in the nation."
