Telix Pharmaceuticals, an Australian company with a current presence in the Fishers Nickel Plate District, is expanding, adding 20 executive-level and administrative positions to its US headquarters. The firm, with its world headquarters in Melbourne, has its U.S. headquarters at 12 Municipal Drive.
Telix has had its operations for American radiopharmaceutical development and manufacturing located in Fishers since early 2020.
Fishers is making its move developing a pharma presence in the city. On June 16, an Italian operation, the Stevanato Group, another pharma company, announced plans to locate a new facility in Fishers at 126th Street and Cumberland Road that is projected to eventually employ 230 people.
“We are well-positioned to lead on radiopharmaceutical distribution because of our central location and the time-sensitivity around patient access,” said Fishers Mayor Scott Fadness in a city news release. “With the recent surge of life science cluster development in Fishers, we are excited to welcome Telix to the Fishers community.”
Telix has a prostate cancer imaging investigational product, Illuccix®, currently under FDA review, with approval anticipated by the end of 2021.
“Establishing our US headquarters in Fishers, Indiana is an important step in our strategy for global expansion. We’re thrilled to be able to find a city that has the manufacturing infrastructure to support our operational expansion in the United States,” said Dr. Bernard Lambert, President Telix Americas. “We are excited for Telix’s future as we advance our pipeline of diagnostic and therapeutic products, and we will continue to implement our strategy that includes growing our team in the United States.”
Telix is currently recruiting for open positions. Review available job opportunities at this link.
The State of Indiana is offering $500,000 in tax credits based on the company’s job creation plans, on the condition the company meets its promised hiring targets.
“Telix had 49 other options to establish its U.S. headquarters, and we couldn’t be more grateful they chose Indiana to put down new roots,” said Jim Staton, SVP and Chief Business Development Officer for the Indiana Economic Development Corporation. “We’re proud to have them join Indiana’s thriving life sciences sector and look forward to supporting their growth as they provide high-quality jobs for Hoosiers.”
