Bora Pharmaceuticals Announces Multi-Year Expansion for Midwest Manufacturing Site, as Upsher-Smith Entity Split is Finalized
Buildout includes Gerteis Macro-Pactor® install, with additional investments to follow, to meet industry demand at Minnesota facility MAPLE GROVE, Minn., August 05, 2025--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Bora Pharmaceuticals Co., Ltd. ("Bora" or "the Company", TWSE: 6472), a global leader in pharmaceutical manufacturing, has announced plans for significant investments to expand its manufacturing and packaging capabilities at its facility in Maple Grove, Minnesota. This is a major upgrade to the site, which Bora acquired in 2024 as part of its $210 million acquisition of Upsher-Smith Laboratories, expanding its U.S. manufacturing footprint. As the entity separation from Upsher-Smith Laboratories takes effect on August 5, Bora continues its growth amid surging demand for oral solid dose (OSD) development and manufacturing brought on by increasingly complex formulations, novel drug delivery technologies, and the growing shift of biologics into OSD formats. Bora has already secured multiple multi-million-dollar contracts for development and commercial supply of advanced OSD programs. "With pharmaceutical companies relying more heavily on specialized CDMO partners to scale production and maintain quality, top-tier manufacturing capacity and technical expertise are at a premium," said J.D. Mowery, president of Bora's CDMO business. "Bora's Maple Grove facility offers a unique opportunity for innovators to secure space in a state-of-the-art site staffed by experts in formulation development, tech transfer, and commercial manufacturing." The first phase of Bora's investment will add a Gerteis Macro-Pactor® at the company's state-of-the-art site. This investment initiates a broader buildout of 100,000 square feet of dedicated shell space designed to streamline production for partners with high-volume needs. The Gerteis Macro-Pactor® roller compactor will be installed and operational in the third quarter of 2025. "As we complete our transition from Upsher-Smith, we're creating the infrastructure to deliver integrated manufacturing, packaging, and analytical services with the speed and quality our clients need," shared Dennis Hall, Vice President and General Manager of the Maple Grove site. "As we expand our capabilities, we look forward to tapping into all the experience and talent in the area." The facility offers on-site quality control laboratories and a dedicated development team to support product and analytical development as well as innovation. It is an FDA-inspected manufacturing site and meets global health authority requirements, ensuring regulatory compliance. From early development and scale-up to process optimization and commercial manufacturing, Bora's experienced teams support customers at every stage of the product lifecycle. The company's commercial on-time, in-full (OTIF) delivery record is unmatched, reinforcing Bora's role as a trusted partner, supporting clients with secure, consistent supply.

Telangana Sheep Distribution Scheme funds transferred to individuals without prior history in livestock trade: ED
The funds meant for beneficiaries under Telangana government's Sheep Rearing Development Scheme (SRDS) were transferred to individuals who, prior to the launch of the scheme, had no history of involvement in the livestock trade. This was one of the findings of the Directorate of Enforcement's (ED) probe into the large-scale financial irregularities in the scheme. The ED teams carried out search operations at eight locations across Hyderabad on Wednesday (July 30, 2025) as part of its investigation. The raids were conducted under the provisions of the Prevention of Money Laundering Act, 2002. Among the premises searched was that of G. Kalyan Kumar, Officer on Special Duty (OSD) to former Animal Husbandry Minister Talasani Srinivasa Yadav. The agency also searched locations linked to several beneficiaries and middlemen flagged during the investigation. The raids yielded evidence, including documents suggesting illegal kickbacks to public officials. Seized items included blank chequebooks, passbooks, debit cards linked to over 200 suspected mule accounts, and documents tied to an illegal online betting application. Investigators also recovered 31 used mobile phones and more than 20 SIM cards believed to have been used in the operations. The Comptroller and Auditor General (CAG) report for the financial year ending March 2021 further exposed a litany of irregularities in the scheme's implementation. These included the absence of beneficiary records, fake invoices, payments made against non-transport vehicle registration numbers, allocation of sheep units to deceased or non-existent individuals, and instances of sheep units being recycled to fraudulently claim government subsidies. The audit, limited to just seven of Telangana's 33 districts, pegged the loss at ₹253.93 crore. The ED noted that if extrapolated across the state, the total loss could exceed ₹1,000 crore. The ED's probe stems from multiple FIRs registered by the Anti-Corruption Bureau, Hyderabad. One of them alleged that following the change in government, the OSD to the ex-minister forcibly removed records from the department's office. Another complaint, filed by a sheep merchant, claimed that ₹2.1 crore owed for the supply of sheep was siphoned off by departmental officials and diverted to unrelated accounts. Further investigation is ongoing.
