A Markham-based pharmaceutical company with Windsor owners plans to expand here with a $25-million project that could initially create up to 100 jobs, with the potential for hundreds more on the horizon.

“We’re expanding our pharmaceutical group in the Toronto area and we need to double the size. So we chose Windsor for the second location, hopefully,” local developer Joe Mikhail of Mikhail Holdings said Tuesday. He cautions, however, that the move still needs approvals and incentives from the federal and provincial governments.

A company owned by Mikhail brothers Joe, John and Lou has bought a seven-acre former manufacturing plant in the 2600 block of Howard Avenue with 90,000 square feet of space to accommodate the new Pancap Pharma Inc. operation as well as a Pancap subsidiary that’s developing an environmentally responsible tampon.

Mikhail said the benefits to the city would be incredible.
