SALT LAKE CITY, March 23, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Worldwide health
and nutrition company, USANA Health Sciences, announces that its
China subsidiary, BabyCare Ltd.,
held a grand opening for its new $40
million state-of-the-art manufacturing facility on
March 21, 2017. Located in
Beijing, China, the new 350,000
square-foot facility will manufacture high-quality nutritional
supplements for customers in Mainland China.
Government officials and representatives from China's General Administration of Sports
Training Bureau—who BabyCare recently became the official sponsor
of—showed their support and excitement by attending the
celebration.
"It's an exciting time for BabyCare and our future in
China," says Jim Brown, USANA president and chief operations
officer. "BabyCare is well known for dedication to quality and
safety, and you can see that dedication reflected throughout this
new building. We are pleased we can provide quality products
without compromise to customers through this state-of-the-art
facility."
The new building, located in the Beijing Economic and
Technological Development Area, is roughly the same size as the
USANA Home Office in Salt Lake City,
Utah. The new structure consists of five buildings and has
the capacity to produce at least 1.2 billion tablets each year—the
same capacity as the USANA Home Office.
"We are committed to customer growth in China," says Bob
Kupfer, vice president of global operations. "And we have
built a new facility that will provide us with the capacity to
satisfy customer demand for the foreseeable future."
USANA is currently operating in 20 markets throughout the world,
and China represents one of its
most important growth opportunities moving forward. BabyCare has
achieved solid sales and customer growth in China for several years and this growth is
just one of the factors that led to the Company's determination to
construct a new facility in China.
Although the factory is located outside of the U.S., it
maintains the same level of quality standards as USANA's facility
in the U.S. The factory was also built according to requirements
from the Chinese government, the China Food and Drug
Administration, and the GB standard—the national standard of
China. A high-tech air system was
also installed to filter the air pollution in Beijing.
