Georgia Gov. Brian Kemp today announced that global healthcare logistics company BioTouch will invest $12.5 million to expand two existing facilities in Columbus.
The company expect the projects, located at Corporate Ridge Business Park and Columbus East Industrial Park, to create a combined 480 jobs over the next four years. The Columbus operations specialize in manufacturing kits for medical testing and sample collection and currently employ approximately 390 workers.
BioTuch already began construction and hiring for the expansion, with full operations expected by 2028.
Headquartered in Connecticut, the company's operations cover custom healthcare kitting, specialty courier services, printing and promotional solutions, end-to-end technology platforms and advanced temperature-controlled logistics — supporting healthcare organizations and laboratories worldwide.
Senior Regional Project Manager Christy Bozeman represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce team on the competitive project, in partnership with the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia Power and Georgia Quick Start.
