ALLEGAN, Mich., Oct. 28, 2025 /PRNewswire/ — Padagis®, a leading generic pharmaceuticals company, has announced an investment of over $36 million to expand its manufacturing operations in Minneapolis, Minnesota, which includes the expansion of naloxone nasal spray production and packaging. Padagis began executing expansion plans to onshore naloxone production in 2023, representing a significant milestone in the company’s long-term initiative to increase domestic production capacity. The additional capabilities will ensure faster delivery and greater access to Padagis’ nasal sprays and specifically Padagis’ naloxone. Padagis will begin manufacturing its naloxone in Minnesota by Q4 2025 with complete operational readiness by 2026.

“This is more than an investment, it’s a commitment to saving lives,” said Pamela Hoffman, President of Padagis. “By bringing naloxone production to the U.S., we can respond faster in times of urgent need and ensure this critical medication is always within reach for the communities who need it most.”

The expansion strengthens Padagis’ supply chain resilience, increases production capacity, reduces dependency on overseas shipping, and helps keep costs lower and stable for consumers, public health agencies, and community organizations. Additionally, with this move to have manufacturing, assembly, and distribution in the U.S., Padagis will strengthen its distribution network and capacity to continue rapid delivery of naloxone across the country.
