Datwyler, an Altdorf, Switzerland-based industrial supplier, will construct a $102 million manufacturing plant in Delaware.
The plant, expected to create about 120 new jobs, will manufacture elastomer components used in injectable drug delivery systems.
Construction will start by the end of 2016, with production set to begin in early 2018.
Datwyler hopes the new plant will help strengthen its position in the global drug market.
