San Jose-based CPC Scientific Inc. looked at locations in Texas, Arizona and South Carolina before deciding to build out its domestic manufacturing in Rocklin.
The company makes clinical-grade peptides for the pharmaceutical industry at a plant in China, and it wants to onshore some manufacturing.
“We looked all over, but in the end, we wanted to keep it close,” said David Godkin, vice president of business operations with CPC, in a phone interview.
