A homegrown Ottawa pharmaceutical firm marked a milestone Wednesday as it moved into a larger head office with plans to expand its local workforce.
Atul Aggarwal and Nav Aggarwal founded generic drug manufacturer Marcan Pharmaceuticals in 2005. The firm, which was previously known as International Pharmaceuticals Generics, was acquired by Indian pharmaceutical giant Emcure in 2015.
Marcan officially opened its new corporate office on Gurdwara Road this week, expanding to 6,700 square feet from its previous 4,500 square feet on Auriga Drive.
