Talecris currently employs approximately 4,700 people worldwide and is headquartered in the biotechnology hub of Research Triangle Park, NC. With more than 1,800 full-time workers employed in Johnston County, Talecris is one of the county’s largest employers. The company has hired more than 180 employees this year in Johnston County alone.

The Clayton manufacturing facility produces protein therapies that are used to treat a range of diseases, including immune deficiencies, hemophilia, genetic emphysema, and a rare neurological disorder known as chronic inflammatory demyelinating polyneuropathy (CIDP). The company has 11 approved products on the market, each of them derived from human plasma that is collected primarily from the company’s 71 plasma donation centers nationwide.

To facilitate Talecris’ manufacturing expansion, the state has awarded the company a $250,000 grant from the state’s One North Carolina Fund. In addition, the state Economic Investment Committee today voted to award a Job Development Investment Grant to Talecris.
