NutraScience is currently transforming it into a new warehouse designed to store raw nutraceutical ingredients and materials as well as finished products. It is climate-controlled, and will have special racking systems installed that are designed to maximize storage space and allow quicker turnaround time for prepping and shipping. The building uses solar power and gas to help minimize the company’s carbon footprint.“Our mission has always been to provide our customers with best-in-class contract supplement manufacturing, packaging, labeling, and fulfillment services,” stated Vincent Tricarico, Executive Vice President at NutraScience Labs. “Adding this warehouse, upgrading our internal systems, and investing in both people and resources will help further cement NutraScience Labs’ standing as the best contract manufacturer for new and emerging dietary supplement brands in the United States and around the Globe.”
