Ci Design, Inc. Partners with Ypsomed on Landmark US Manufacturing Facility

HOLLY SPRINGS, N.C.--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Ci Design, Inc. is working with Ypsomed to bring its first US-based advanced manufacturing facility to Holly Springs, North Carolina. Currently under construction, the facility will expand the company’s production of self-injection systems for the global healthcare market.

Headquartered in Burgdorf, Switzerland, Ypsomed employs more than 2,000 people. The 160,000-square-foot North American facility will offer significant growth opportunities in the coming years, serving as a GMP medical device production center designed to meet increasing global demand for self-care solutions.

The new facility will feature a modern workplace that prioritizes operational efficiency, a high-quality work environment and collaboration with thoughtfully designed production, support and amenity spaces. The project is targeting LEED Gold certification, aligning with Ypsomed's broader sustainability objectives and commitment to responsible development.

Located within one of the nation's fastest-growing life sciences corridors, the facility will benefit from direct access to the highly skilled workforce emerging from North Carolina's leading universities and technical programs.

“From site selection and due diligence through design and turn-key delivery, our goal has been to help Ypsomed bring its vision to life as efficiently and effectively as possible,” said Brian DiLuiso, Ci Principal and Director of Life Science. “This project demonstrates the value of assembling a team that shares the same commitment to client service, transparency, and collaboration. By working as an extension of Ypsomed's team alongside our project team, we were able to make informed decisions quickly and create a facility that supports the company's long-term growth in the US."

Ypsomed’s new facility is being developed in close collaboration with state and local officials, economic development organizations and project partners, helping advance North Carolina's position as a global leader in life sciences manufacturing.

Ci is providing site selection, architecture, interiors, manufacturing planning, and landscape design services to bring Ypsomed’s vision to life. The project team also includes Hunneman, CBRE, Evans General Contractors, Mainstay Engineering Group, and Vanderweil Engineers.
