Nature’s One to ship millions of pounds of infant formula to American families.
Nature’s One new facility features a fully integrated spray-dry process complete with a nitrogen-purged packaging line designed to protect the sensitive nutrients in infant formula. The fully automated processing offers direct-steam injection to meet the most demanding regulatory requirements from around the world. The facility also features high-hygiene zones with strict environmental monitoring to protect from pathogens and any unnecessary environmental exposure.
Jay Highman, Nature’s One Founder and CEO, says, “I believe that Nature’s One currently has the ‘crown jewel’ of powder infant formula manufacturing facilities in the U.S. The design of the manufacturing facility deploys all modern ‘best practices’ for safe infant formula production with high-hygiene zoning and custom processing equipment.” Highman adds, “I am thankful for what Nature’s One has accomplished.”
The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility incorporates a custom powder spray-dry design capable of 15-million pounds annually. For future expansion, the manufacturing facility is already pre-engineered to more than double its volume output. The facility will accommodate the addition of a new spray-dry tower capable of an additional 20-million annual lbs. including fully integrated packaging and expansion of warehouse space on nearly 22 acres of land. Processing rooms and floor space are already designed into the existing building structure thereby minimizing disruption to operations when expanding. Facility expansion plans are already underway.
