Ribbon Cutting
This world class manufacturing facility is more than 152,000 square feet and sits on over 12 acres. Over $30 million was spent to renovate, re-imagine and reconstruct the facility, along with investments in new machinery, equipment and working capital.
Factory Tour
Designed for maximum efficiency, production workflow and cleanliness…powder and liquid manufacturing functions have been completely segregated to avoid any cross contamination. Additionally, dust collecting pick-up points are strategically installed throughout the factory. Pictured are pressed powder machines.
More Room
Each manufacturing function is housed in individually-controlled production rooms: pre-weigh rooms, separate bulk mixing rooms for powders & liquids, holding rooms for bulk and WIP, separate filling rooms for liquids & powders, plus an enormous assembly and packaging area.
