Governor Brian Kemp (R-GA) recently 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 is a 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.
The company’s Columbus operations specialize in manufacturing kits for medical testing and sample collection. Across its facilities in Muscogee County, it also currently employs approximately 390 people.
BioTouch’s facilities are located at Corporate Ridge Business Park and Columbus East Industrial Park. Construction on and hiring for the expansion are currently underway, with full operations expected sometime in 2028.
In negotiating for this expansion, Senior Regional Project Manager Christy Bozeman represented the Georgia Department of Economic Development’s (GDEcD) Global Commerce, in partnership with the Development Authority of Columbus, Georgia Power, and Georgia Quick Start.
GDEcD Commissioner Pat Wilson commented on this development and emphasized how BioTouch exemplifies the strength and diversity of Georgia’s industries.
“Companies such as BioTouch are able to leverage state services, industry partnerships, and Georgia’s collaborative environment to grow,” Wilson added. “We look forward to working with BioTouch, Columbus, and partners in workforce development to support more opportunities for good jobs in West Georgia.”
Gov. Brian Kemp congratulated Muscogee County on this announcement and discussed how this reinforces Georgia’s reputation for being the No. 1 state for business.
“BioTouch's decision to double down on Georgia underscores how our approach to economic development is bringing opportunity to all parts of the state," Kemp stated. “I want to congratulate Muscogee County and the entire region on this exciting announcement and the jobs it will bring to this growing community.”
480 new jobs are on the way to Muscogee County! This BioTouch expansion is just the latest affirmation of Georgia's proven, partnership approach to economic development. https://t.co/Z6Rlp2d1ia
