TOLEDO, Ohio — Ohio Governor Mike DeWine has announced in a media release that Abbott Laboratories has selected a site in Bowling Green for a new manufacturing facility. According to officials, the facility will produce specialty and metabolic powder nutritional products.
Abbott will invest $536 million into the new facility, which is expected to generate 450 permanent jobs for the region.
In designing and building the plant, Abbott intends to tap experts in food safety, quality, and good manufacturing practices.
