Biotech manufacturer doubles Boulder footprint with new plant

Meddux Development Corp. LLC, a contract manufacturer for the life-sciences industr y, has opened a new, nearly 22,000square-foot facility at 6165 Lookout Road in Boulder’s Gunbarrel neighborhood, doubling its footprint compared to its prior operation on Sterling Drive.

Boulder County real estate records show that Meddux, through holding company 6165 Lookout LLC, bought the building last year from Neidecker LLC for just a tad less than $4 million.

With the move, the company has quadrupled its product development area and has doubled its manufacturing footprint, Meddux said in a news release. The Gunbarrel plant also has a 1,500square-foot cleanroom.

“The Meddux team is excited about the new facility and our continued commitment to the Colorado region,” Meddux president Dave Schechter said in the release. “The new facility allows us to expand upon our highly engineered product development capabilities and manufacturing capacity to support long-term, sustained growth for years to come.”

The latest move comes just a couple of years after the company expanded into the Sterling Drive space and about five years after Meddux was founded.

The company provides engineering design, development, and manufacturing services for the development and production of medical devices, life-sciences, and consumer health-care products.

“The new facility will allow us to grow our customer base and expand offerings to existing customers,” Meddux business development director Margery Parsell said in the release. “It will enable us to continue to fulfill our longterm commitment to deliver these life-saving solutions that enhance patients around the world.”
