These facilities produce vaccine and medicine doses in the billions each year with an unwavering focus on quality, safety, and compliance.

Our Commitment to Quality Details
What Is Pfizer's U.S. Manufacturing Legacy?
Pfizer's journey began in Brooklyn, NY, where a small chemical company grew into an innovation powerhouse and a cornerstone of the pharmaceutical industry. Today, our U.S. PGS team is focused on ensuring that all products are made to the highest standards of quality, safety, and efficacy throughout our network of facilities across the country.

Our end-to-end treatment focus enabled by scientific innovation and global scale
We have the capabilities to manufacture small molecules, vaccines, and biologics at scale to meet complex global health needs.
Biologics
Medicines developed from naturally occurring systems, such as proteins or genetic material.
Vaccines
Biological preparations that help prevent infectious diseases by stimulating the immune system to create antibodies to defend against harmful bacteria or viruses, without causing the disease.
Small Molecules
Chemically synthesized medicines with simple structures and low molecular weight, often designed for oral administration like pills, tablets or capsules.
How Does Pfizer Classify Its Medicines in the Market?
We manufacture medicines across every stage of a drug's lifecycle—from newly patented breakthroughs to affordable generic options.
Branded
When a new medicine released it is patented and sold under a brand name.
Biosimilars
Medicines specifically designed with similar properties to a drug that has already been created and licensed.
Since biosimilars are never exact copies of the medicine they’re designed to imitate, their safety and effectiveness must be independently established.
Generics
When a patent expires, generic versions of the drug may be sold by other companies. These differ in minor ways from the branded version, but must have similar efficacy.
Authorized generics
Medicines manufactured by the original brand-name company (or a partner company with their permission), and have the exact same drug product, ingredients (active and inactive) and manufacturing process as the approved brand name drug but is marketed without the brand name on its label.
Make a Difference with Us
PGS colleagues make up nearly 40% of Pfizer’s global workforce. They leverage their technical skills and experience to solve problems every day, from designing solutions like a thermal shipper that doubles as an ultra-cold freezer to using augmented reality to proactively diagnose and repair equipment.
We’re looking for people committed to helping us make our operations one of the most resilient, robust, and sophisticated in the industry.
