Horizon Pharma Expands U.S. HQ

Horizon Pharma is expanding and relocating its U.S. corporate headquarters from Deerfield, IL to Lake Forest, IL, with a long-term sublease for new office space that will approximately triple the size of the current U.S. headquarters and can accommodate nearly 600 employees. The expansion and relocation is expected to be completed in January 2016.

“Horizon has come a long way in eight years, from one employee working in a coffee shop, to more than 700 global employees,” said Timothy P. Walbert, chairman, president and chief executive officer, Horizon Pharma plc. “In the last year alone, we have added nearly 100 employees in our U.S. headquarters and have experienced tremendous growth in the business overall. With this progress, as well as planning for future expansion, we needed to increase our physical space. Our new U.S. headquarters will provide us room to continue on this growth trajectory, and ultimately, to serve more patients.”

Horizon Pharma is a biopharmaceutical company focused on identifying, developing, acquiring and commercializing differentiated and accessible medicines that address unmet medical needs.
