Mölnlycke® Health Care, a global leader in MedTech, headquartered in Gothenburg, Sweden, today celebrates the groundbreaking of a major expansion to its wound care manufacturing capacity in Brunswick, Maine. This milestone marks the beginning of a $135 million investment aimed at significantly increasing Mölnlycke's manufacturing capacity in the United States.
“This expansion is a bold step forward for Mölnlycke in the U.S. It reinforces our mission to free patients and caregivers from the burden of wounds, strengthens supply resilience, and helps us to deliver high-quality wound care solutions faster, smarter, and more sustainably,” says Zlatko Rihter, CEO of Mölnlycke. “I'm proud to mark this milestone for Mölnlycke, for Maine and for the future of MedTech.”
The expansion is part of Mölnlycke's strategic commitment to localise production and meet growing demand from U.S. healthcare providers. The state-of-the-art facility will support Mölnlycke's long-term sustainability goals by using renewable energy solutions, including wind and solar power, and streamlined logistics. It will also feature advanced machinery sourced from U.S. suppliers.
Over the next five years, the investment will create new job opportunities, increasing Mölnlycke's workforce in Maine by approximately 10%, and will engage local contractors and suppliers. Mölnlycke's ambition with the Brunswick expansion, is to enable for more patients in the U.S. to benefit from cutting-edge innovative and high-quality wound care products produced by Mölnlycke.
“Today isn't just about breaking ground. It's about being bold, embracing partnerships and leading with passion,” says Chris Biddle, General Manager of U.S. Manufacturing, Wound Care. “Thank you to everyone who helped bring this vision to reality. The expansion is a win for Mölnlycke, for the local community and, ultimately, for the patients we serve.”
The groundbreaking ceremony was attended by senior federal and state lawmakers, including US Senator for Maine, Angus King, and Maine Governor, Janet Mills, who offered their support for the investment.
