SPOKANE –Selkirk Pharma, a contract manufacturing startup in the pharmaceutical industry, is planning to build a $30 million manufacturing facility in Spokane.
The company wants to build a 65,000-square-foot manufacturing facility at 9110 W. Granite Ave. in the Pacific Northwest Technology Park, according to an application filed with the city of Spokane.
Selkirk Pharma, which was founded in 2018 by a team of physicians and pharmaceutical leaders, manufactures and packages injectable drug products. The company has an office at 821 W. First Ave. in downtown Spokane.
