Spring Hill, Tennessee-based Armada Nutrition, a contact manufacturer in the nutraceutical industry specializing in powder and capsule applications, has announced plans to open a nutraceutical manufacturing facility in Utah. The new 438,000-square-foot facility will be located at a yet-to-be-announced location along the Wasatch Front.
Armada said the new plant more than doubles its manufacturing capacity and allows it to serve customers on both coasts.
Armada is a portfolio company of the publicly traded Nagase Group that also owns Armada’s sister company Prinova, a distributor of amino acids, proteins, sweeteners and other functional ingredients used by Armada in its manufacturing processes.
“We’re extremely excited about the Utah facility expansion, and the plans to bring more high-end contract manufacturing capacity to the industry and to our customers,” said Prinova president and CEO Don Thorp. “Now more than ever, our customers are interested in reliability, safety, and quality in their supply chain and this new facility will allow us to continue to deliver on that expectation.”
Armada President Brent Laffey said he looks forward to carrying out the company’s vision on this larger scale. “Our approach with Armada has been to offer the speed, service and innovation that the industry demands, while delivering the quality and safety standard you would expect from a publicly traded company,” he said.
Armada said he plant will be fully operational in the second quarter of 2022.
