why tucson?

Tucson has all the factors necessary for success: a strong labor pool, an appropriate and easily accessible location in Century Park Marketplace, and a community that BD will always view as a partner as we work to meet the needs of U.S. healthcare providers.

The Tucson facility will be responsible for the sterilization of essential medical devices that are necessary for a functioning healthcare system. As we have all learned from the COVID-19 pandemic, supply chain resilience is critical to ensuring that Americans have access to the life-saving care that they need. BD is committed to being part of the solution, and we are making major investments, including with this new facility in Tucson, to improve supply chain resilience, customer service levels and operational efficiency. The facility will be centrally located between eight manufacturing sites and three distribution centers. Tucson boasts a strong labor pool and increases our capabilities and capacity in North America and for the U.S. supply chain.

The Tucson facility will play a key role in fulfilling regional sterilization demand for years to come.

@BDandCo - welcome to Ward 4! My team an I had the opportunity to meet with BD before they chose #Tucson and are thrilled they are investing in our beautiful community.

The National Kidney Foundations' Camp Kidney would not be possible without our sponsors and volunteers who understand the magic of camp and see the importance of giving these kids this amazing experience!

Across the board, BD does a lot of different things not just at the corporate level, but on the employee level as well. We are extremely grateful and I've grown to love quite a few of the BD people that I've worked with over the years!

There is always someone you are going to run into that needs a big hug, a smile, or someone to say "you can do this." It's a great partnership, because all I have to do is call the wonderful people at BD and it's done!
