According to Lars Peterson, president and CEO, FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies, the decision was driven by a need to better serve customers while addressing growing market demands. "This expansion is about more than just scaling up; it's about building a foundation for long-term growth that aligns with our values," said Peterson.
From manufacturing roles to positions in R&D and logistics, the company is opening up opportunities across the board. The investment not only underscores FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies' commitment to growth, but also its focus on supporting the communities in which it operates.
Local government officials have also welcomed the development, citing its potential to drive economic activity and foster collaboration with local suppliers and businesses. "FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies’ expansion is a testament to the strength and potential of our region," remarked Peterson, "and we look forward to the positive impact it will bring."
What sets this expansion apart is its alignment with FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies’ sustainability goals. The company has made significant strides in reducing its environmental footprint, and the new facility is a testament to that commitment. Designed with energy efficiency and renewable energy integration in mind, the site aims to set new standards in sustainable manufacturing.

Key initiatives include the installation of solar panels, the implementation of a water recycling system, and the adoption of circular economy principles in its production processes. These measures are part of a broader sustainability strategy that seeks to minimise waste, reduce greenhouse gas emissions, and conserve resources.
"Sustainability isn't just a buzzword for us; it's a guiding principle," Peterson explained. "From the design of our facilities to the materials we use, every decision is made with the environment in mind."
The expansion comes at a time when the industry is undergoing rapid transformation. Increasingly, companies are being called upon to balance growth with environmental stewardship. The company's investment reflects a broader trend toward sustainability-driven innovation, as businesses adapt to evolving consumer expectations and regulatory requirements.
Industry analysts have praised the move, noting that it positions the company as a forward-thinking player in the market. "Incorporating sustainability into expansion plans is not just a smart business decision—it’s a necessity in today’s landscape," said Peterson.
As FUJIFILM Diosynth Biotechnologies embarks on this new chapter, the focus remains on delivering high-quality products and services while staying true to its values. The expansion is not just a testament to the company’s growth but also a reflection of its commitment to innovation, sustainability, and community impact.
Looking ahead, it plans to further integrate sustainable practices across its operations and explore new ways to contribute to a greener future. As Peterson said: "Our journey doesn’t end here. This expansion is just the beginning of what we hope will be a lasting legacy of growth and environmental responsibility."
