Sunstar Opens Expanded Oral Care Site in Illinois

Sunstar Group has opened its new, global oral care site with larger office, manufacturing, R&D and distribution space in Schaumburg, IL. Sunstar Group says it will use this new center to accelerate the expansion of its global oral care business. Sunstar began moving last fall from its sites in Chicago and Elgin to this new 302,000 sq. ft. facility, which is located on an 80-acre greenfield site.

In addition to toothbrush and pharmaceutical production, the new manufacturing area, with improved hygienic environment and state-of-the-art equipment, will allow expansion of product categories such as toothpastes, cosmetics and other high quality products to supply the global market. The size of the research laboratories has doubled to further the development of expanded product categories.

“Our newest operation in Schaumburg is just the latest investment the Sunstar group has made to allow us to meet the growing global demand for our products here in North America and around the world. We will expand our product range with new and innovative products, leveraging the new state-of-the-art R&D facilities and expanded range of manufacturing expertise,” said Richard McMahon, president, oral care, Sunstar Group.
