Ceva

Ceva Biomune is expanding its poultry vaccine production operation in Lenexa and intends to hire 80 more employees next year.
The French firm plans to build a 20,000-square-foot facility on its current campus at 8906 Rosehill Road in Lenexa. The company already employs 150 people at the location. Lenexa was chosen over sites in Europe and Brazil for the expansion.
The new plant, scheduled to become operational in mid-2010, will be adjacent to the existing one and will cost $15 million. It will contain 20,000 square feet and house a state-of-the-art poultry vaccine production operation. It will join a complex that was opened in 1988 by Biomune Labs. Ceva Sante Animal purchased the operation in 2005.
