“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 Pharmavite CEO Jeff Boutelle. “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.”

Pharmavite’s new facility is already producing products ready for sale and is positioned to meet continued consumer demand for vitamin gummies, the top vitamin and supplement form that’s nearly doubled in size since 2019¹. Nature Made was the #1-dollar growth brand across vitamin gummies in 2024¹ and this facility expands production to make Nature Made even more accessible for consumers, while strengthening research and innovation capabilities through Pharmavite's Gummies Innovation Center of Excellence to position the brand for further leadership within the category.

Boutelle added: “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.”

Since breaking ground on the facility in 2023, Pharmavite has committed to serving as a strong community partner in Central Ohio and making a positive impact on the region’s growth, prosperity, and wellbeing through sponsorships, partnerships, volunteer opportunities, and more. Pharmavite works with local organizations, such as Pelotonia, Healthy New Albany, Mid-Ohio Food Collective, The Garden for All, Johnstown Lifestyle, and the Columbus Crew, in the shared pursuit of promoting wellness.

"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 Mayor Sloan Spalding. "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."
