(WXYZ) — In tonight's 7 UpFront report we're taking a look at Pfizer's plans for a new facility in Michigan.

Pfizer's Vice President of Operations for Sterile Injectables Chaz Calitri is joining us to talk about it after the company broke ground today.

You can see the full interview in the video player above.

"It's a critical facility for us," Calitri says. "We'll be making a number of our key, in-line products there. The first one is a pain medication for surgical patients, critical medication, we sell it in over 27 countries. It's an important medication for us. But there's other in-line products that will follow shortly thereafter, products for inflammation, infection, and other important therapeutic areas."
