Gov. Kemp: BioTouch Adding 480 Jobs in Columbus

ATLANTA - Governor Brian P. Kemp today announced that BioTouch, a global healthcare logistics company, will invest $12.5 million to expand two existing facilities in Columbus, creating a combined 480 new jobs in Muscogee County over the next four years.

"BioTouch's decision to double down on Georgia underscores how our approach to economic development is bringing opportunity to all parts of the state," said Governor Brian Kemp. "I want to congratulate Muscogee County and the entire region on this exciting announcement and the jobs it will bring to this growing community."

BioTouch is a single-source, global provider of healthcare kitting and logistics solutions. Its offerings include custom healthcare kitting, specialty courier services, printing and promotional solutions, end-to-end technology platforms, and advanced temperature-controlled logistics - supporting healthcare organizations and laboratories around the world.

The company's Columbus operations specialize in manufacturing kits for medical testing and sample collection. Across its two facilities in Muscogee County, BioTouch currently employs approximately 390 team members.

"BioTouch has been proud to call Columbus home since 2005, and our commitment to this community remains strong. Expanding in Columbus has been a pivotal chapter in our growth story," said Rob Coyle, CEO of BioTouch. "The city's skilled workforce, business-friendly environment, and strategic logistics network have enabled us to scale faster and serve our customers more efficiently. Columbus isn't just where we operate - it's where we fulfill our purpose: To touch lives and improve outcomes."

BioTouch's facilities are located at Corporate Ridge Business Park and Columbus East Industrial Park. Construction on and hiring for the expansion is currently underway, with full operations expected by 2028. Interested applicants can learn more and apply at biotouchglobaljobs.com.
