Amway announced the next step in its $75 million investment to improve its World Headquarters in Ada, Michigan with the Nutrilite Spaulding Plant, that now includes solid dose tablet manufacturing and a quality control lab.
This expansion included converting 52,000 square feet of warehouse space into what Amway called “state-of-the-art operations” that could house more than 500 pieces of equipment used to produce Nutrilite supplements. Upgrades included V-shell blenders and high-speed rotary tablet presses and a high-speed two-capsule filling machine that Amway says better aligns with the plant’s capabilities and its global manufacturing needs.
“This new flagship operation represents the next generation of global nutrition manufacturing, quality and innovation capabilities,” said Brian Kraus, Amway Chief Supply Chain Officer. “The reimagined Nutrilite Spaulding Plant marks a significant milestone and a major investment in our manufacturing infrastructure and innovation, positioning us for future growth and enabling the production of high-quality, high-performing Nutrilite products that support Amway Business Owners around the world.”
The new space is expected to support a Nutrilite portfolio of 877 individual SKUs that span 136 formulas and serve 60 markets, and follows the recent launch of Amway’s 25,000 square-foot Nutrition Pilot Plant, which is part of Amway’s main complex and will serve as a testing ground for next-generation nutrition products.
“The Nutrilite Spaulding Plant is another step forward in staying on the leading edge of nutrition innovation and manufacturing,” Kraus said. “Amway cares deeply about the health and wellbeing of our business owners and the communities they serve. We are committed to continually investing in their success.”
