A local subsidiary of a Swiss corporation will set up operations at The Landmark at Eastview, aided by a tax break from the Westchester County Industrial Development Agency.
Micro-Macinazione USA Inc. specializes in producing finely-ground ingredients for pharmaceutical companies. The drug companies use the ingedients to produce drugs that are used in clinical trials.
Karl Edelman of Katonah, general manager of the local company, said drug companies rely on small businesses like Micro-Macinazione USA, since it’s inefficient to set up large manufacturing operations to produce the small amounts of pills, powders and sprays needed in clinical trials.
“We’re just one small part of the entire process,� he said.
Edelman said it will take up to 10 months to set up shop at The Landmark, a biotech corporate park. The company will employ 10 people at the start, a figure that could double in two years, he said.
The county IDA approved a $100,000 sale tax exemption for the business. Construction costs are estimated at $5 million.
