As a multinational pharmaceutical company, Pfizer employs more than 79,000 people worldwide. The company has also received global recognition for their part in combating the COVID-19 pandemic, working to develop and manufacture the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine and the COVID-19 treatment Paxlovid. A reputable, trusted name in the pharmaceutical industry, Pfizer decided to call Nash County home when the company acquired the Rocky Mount site in 2015.

With the Rocky Mount facility, Pfizer is looking to bring even more jobs to the area while focusing on furthering the company's mission. "I think we are in an area where we can build and be a major source of employment for the area, but we’re not crowded like in areas such as Research Triangle," said Kara Price, Director of Integrated Manufacturing at Pfizer Rocky Mount. The company is also invested in helping to develop a workforce pipeline, starting with Nash County's students. "At Pfizer, we love helping to build that pipeline of talent and interest in STEM programs early. We sponsored students in Twin County Brick City Engineering Challenge and the Twin County STEM Design Challenge and Invention Convention to help them get interested in STEM," she said.
