THOUSAND OAKS (dpa-AFX) - Amgen, Inc. (AMGN) announced Monday the opening of
its manufacturing site in Central Ohio, the newest in its global operations
network and the most advanced facility to date.

The nearly 300,000-square-foot facility will employ 400 full-time staff. It also
features open workspaces to foster collaboration and has been designed to meet
the highest environmental sustainability standards, in support of Amgen's
