Expansion plans are in place for a Norwich manufacturer.

Norwich Pharmaceuticals is planning a $26 million expansion that includes adding 20,000 square feet of warehouse capacity and new equipment.

Norwich Pharmaceuticals employs 280 people and has been in business since 1880. The company says it plans to add jobs but the number of additions has not been detailed.

The company is planning many equipment upgrades as some of the systems to make pills have not been replaced since the 1970s.

Norwich Pharmaceuticals is part of the Alvogen company.
