Amway opened its new
$42 million nutrition manufacturing and R&D facility in Buena Park, California. According to company
officials, the 60,000-square-foot manufacturing facility will house select
manufacturing operations for the company's Nutrilite brand of vitamins,
minerals and dietary supplements, sold exclusively by Amway Business Owners.
The R&D facility will focus on quality assurance activities as well as
research efforts for the nutrition brand. A new office building also is part of
the development.
The Nutrilite brand has been advancing nutrition for more than 80 years, said Amway Chairman Steve Van Andel. These facilities are a key part of the brand's future and we couldn't be more excited to continue the legacy of nutrition manufacturing from this site in California.

The new manufacturing
facility supports ingredient granulation – the mid-step in the manufacturing
process of vitamin and mineral tablets, including Nutrilite Double X and
Nutrilite supplements. The facility will take raw ingredients from Nutrilite
farms, received in a powdered form, and turn them into a consistency that can
be pressed into tablets.
People all around the
world rely on us for quality nutrition products, said Amway Chief Supply Chain
and R&D Officer George Calvert. This investment in manufacturing and
R&D is one of many that we make to ensure that we continue to provide the
very best in nutrition to the global consumer.
The manufacturing
facility is built to meet Leadership in Energy & Environmental Design
silver certification standards developed by the U.S. Green Building Council –
upholding a long-term environmental focus by Amway. The building design and
construction used sustainability practices, a storm water control system, and
paint and other coatings containing low volatile organic compounds to reduce
potentially harmful gases.
The Buena Park-based
facility is one of five new manufacturing sites slated to open in 2015 for
Amway, part of its ongoing $332 million USD manufacturing expansion.
