Company History

From RCA to DNA
Cook Pharmica was founded in 2004 as a division of Cook Medical, the world’s largest privately held medical device manufacturing company. Owner and Cook Group founder Bill Cook envisioned a contract manufacturing facility that would employ a unique solution called the one-source, one-location model to help biopharmaceutical companies accelerate the delivery of their life-enhancing products to patients worldwide. To accomplish this goal, the company tapped some of the industry’s best talent and provided that talent with a state-of-the-art facility large enough to accommodate everything from DNA development to filling, finishing and packaging.

In May 2004, the company found the perfect site on which to build the Cook Pharmica campus: the abandoned RCA television factory in Bloomington, Indiana, which had closed its doors in 1988. Throughout every stage of the construction process, efforts were made maintain the highest standards and build a facility that would offer biopharmaceutical companies flexibility as well as capacity.

By its completion in 2010, Cook Pharmica had grown from an idea to a staggering 900,000 square foot facility with world-class development, cell culture manufacturing, parenteral manufacturing and secondary packing services all in one location.
