Nutrition Group unveils ambitious £2m expansion plan

International food supplement and health product manufacturer Nutrition Group has announced plans for expansion which includes the creation of a new £2m state-of-the-art manufacturing plant in Blackpool.

The move to the custom-built factory will boost its workforce from 75 to 90, with more jobs being created as its sales continue to grow.

Nutrition Group plans to be in its new 75,000sq ft manufacturing facility in November this year and sees the move as key for further growth in its operations.

Last year the group announced a £2m rise in sales, which hit the £10m mark. The company, which was founded in 1993, is looking to increase that by a further £2m over the next 12 months as it exploits new markets at home and overseas.

The group also has an import arm, specialising in the sourcing and distribution of nutraceutical products from its global supply chain, as well as a contract packaging operation.
