Liberation Labs, a large-scale precision fermentation manufacturer providing an alternative source of protein, has chosen the city of Richmond for the site of its first commercial-scale biomanufacturing facility. The new facility will have a fermentation capacity of 600,000 liters with a fully dedicated downstream process (DSP) and will be located on a 36-acre lot in Phase I of Richmond’s 700-acre Midwest Industrial Park. The company expects to invest $115 million in the facility and plans to create an estimated 45 well-paying manufacturing jobs.
