Nutramax Laboratories, an industry-leading manufacturer and marketer of nutritional supplement products for people and pets, is expanding in Lancaster County. The $30 million investment is expected to create approximately 200 new jobs and will add a fourth site to the company’s Lancaster County presence.
“We are pleased to continue to grow in Lancaster County,” Nutramax Laboratories president and CEO Todd Henderson said. “With this newest expansion to the Indian Land area, we will continue providing a positive impact that goes beyond our economic development commitments. For 30 years, we have been blessed with a fantastic team of employees committed to delivering the very best to our consumers. Our values of glorifying God, serving our people, supporting our community and pursuing excellence have created an unwavering guide to fulfilling our mission.”
For 30 years, Nutramax Laboratories has been researching and developing high-quality nutritional supplement products. In 2010, the company conducted a multi-state site search and moved its animal health business and corporate operations to Lancaster County and, since that time, has been actively engaged in the Lancaster community, providing support to local schools and churches, area law enforcement and fire services, numerous small businesses and many local charitable organizations. Nutramax Laboratories operates facilities in both South Carolina and Maryland and continues to be an industry leader in setting and adhering to high standards in research, manufacturing and quality control.
“Nutramax Laboratories’ expansion highlights the growth that life sciences companies are experiencing throughout South Carolina,” Secretary of Commerce Harry M. Lightsey III said. “We congratulate them on their expansion and look forward to a strong partnership for many years to come.”
In addition to three existing locations in Lancaster, Nutramax Laboratories’ new facility will be located at 785 Fort Mill Highway in Indian Land and will house additional warehousing, distribution and future manufacturing capabilities.
“We are excited that Nutramax is adding a fourth location in Lancaster County,” Lancaster County Council Chair Steve Harper said. “They are demonstrating how businesses not only can succeed, but thrive in Lancaster County. They are a great corporate citizen and embody our economic development tagline: ‘Where big ideas become reality.’”
