Governor Jay Nixon of Missouri met with Pharma Medica at the 2013 International BIO Convention in Chicago to discuss growth into Missouri, the United States national leader in the biotechnology, agribusiness, and life science industry. The company’s first expansion outside of Canada opened in St. Charles, Missouri in November 2013.[9][10] The St. Charles expansion cost the company $30.8 million and was to create 320 new jobs to be hired out in the course of three years.[2][4][10] This U.S. site had capacity to operate 10 clinics, and after operating for over 5 years in St. Charles, Pharma Medica Research Inc. USA ceased operations in 2019, but continues to operate in Ontario, Canada.
