SJ Incorporation, a drug and medical device production and manufacturing company, is locating a new production facility in Cascade, MD. The company will lease approximately 35,000 square-feet of space at 24930 Reservoir Road, where it will manufacture medicine and medical device components. SJ Incorporation expects to begin construction this year and create 300 new full-time jobs over the next four years.

The new manufacturing facility is located at Fort Ritchie, a former military installation in Western Maryland that is being redeveloped into a community with residential, commercial, retail, and recreational opportunities. SJ Incorporation represents the largest commercial investment in the Fort thus far.

“Maryland’s leadership in the life sciences, pharmaceutical and manufacturing fields make it a great fit for an innovative company like SJ Incorporation,” said Maryland Department of Commerce Secretary Harry Coker, Jr. “This investment in our state will benefit the company, create good jobs for Washington County, and help us make Maryland’s economy stronger and more competitive.”
