About Site Kalundborg

At Novo Nordisk manufacturing hub in Kalundborg, we are growing. From 2022-2029 we will invest 60 billion DKK to expand existing facilities for the current and future portfolio within serious chronic diseases. This will establish additional capacity across the entire global value chain from manufacturing of active pharmaceutical ingredients (API) to packaging, with the vast majority being invested in API capacity. With the investment, more than 1200 new jobs will be created. This is your opportunity to be part of our journey and help establish the future factories of Novo Nordisk.​

Today, our 4,500 employees at Novo Nordisk Kalundborg produce half of the world’s insulin and a number of biopharmaceutical products, and we are never standing still. Together, we make a difference every day for more than 40 million people living with diabetes and other chronic diseases. ​

Our site is located a few minutes from the city, and just one stop with the train from the site. The train can also take you directly from the site to Copenhagen in around one hour.
