Pharmavite, the makers of Nature Made supplements, has opened a new manufacturing and research and development facility in New Albany, Ohio. The 225,000 square-foot facility cost $250 million, and will create 225 jobs with potential for further expansion.

“Throughout our more than 50-year history, Pharmavite has established its position as the industry leader in producing high-quality vitamins and supplements here in the United States, and this new facility enables us to meet the growing demand for Nature Made vitamins and support consumers across the country on their health and wellness journeys,” said Jeff Boutelle, CEO. “We chose New Albany for this significant investment after an extensive search and we’re proud to be a part of the emerging science, innovation, and technology hub in Central Ohio, and honored to be welcomed into the wellness-focused community.”

The new facility is already producing Nature Made products, and is positioned to continue to meet consumer demand for gummies, which Pharmavite reports has doubled since 2019. Nature Made was the number-one dollar growth brand across vitamin gummies in 2024, the company reports, and the facility will expand production to make the brand’s products more accessible to consumers. The facility’s Gummies Innovation Center of Excellence will strengthen the brand’s research and innovation capabilities.

“As Pharmavite’s newest facility officially ramps up production of its science-backed offerings here in New Albany, I’d like to extend our thanks and appreciation to the many local organizations who made this possible, including JobsOhio, One Columbus, the City of New Albany, and Turner Construction,” said Boutelle.

Community Partnerships

Since breaking ground in 2023, Pharmavite has been a community partner in central Ohio through sponsorships, partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and more. It works with local organizations like Pelotonia, Healthy New Albany, Mid-Ohio Food Collective, The Garden for All, Johnstown Lifestyle, and the Columbus Crew.

“Pharmavite’s decision to invest in New Albany represents more than just a major economic development win. It reinforces the momentum we’re seeing in our growing Health and Life Sciences cluster within the New Albany International Business Park,” said Sloan Spalding, mayor of New Albany. “Their mission to support health and wellness through science-backed nutrition is a natural fit for our community, where health and wellness is one of our core pillars. We are proud to welcome Pharmavite to New Albany and look forward to the positive impact they will make, both as an innovator in their industry and as a committed community partner.”
