Kite , a global biopharmaceutical company, is adding 100 new jobs and expanding its cell therapy manufacturing operations in Frederick County.
A Gilead company, Kite is planning to construct a 70,000 square-foot warehouse adjacent to its current facility in the Urbana Corporate Center, which will help expand its global manufacturing network. The company originally announced its entry into Maryland back in 2019 , helping form the largest dedicated in-house cell therapy manufacturing network in the world. The company expects to employ more than 500 full-time staff between its two facilities by the end of 2026.
