Opelika, Alabama

Bringing the Gift of Health to Life in Opelika Over the last 50 years, Pharmavite pioneered the VMS category and has become an industry leader whose growing portfolio of brands, including Nature Made vitamins, are trusted by consumers and healthcare professionals alike. This legacy of making quality products backed by science is even more relevant today, as consumers renew their efforts to proactively support their health and wellness through efficacious products from trusted brands. Pharmavite’s continued success is made possible by their manufacturing sites in Alabama and California which serve as the engine that powers their ability to deliver on their commitment to develop science-backed, high quality products that consumers trust. The opening of Pharmavite’s Opelika manufacturing facility in 2013 brought a new industry to the state of Alabama. The facility employs over 300 employees and manufactures tablets, softgels and gummy vitamins for Nature Made. In fact, it was dubbed the “Home of Nature Made Gummies” because it’s Pharmavite’s only facility able to execute the entire gummy vitamin manufacturing process from production to packaging. The 300,000 square foot facility in Opelika sets a new standard for manufacturing excellence in the vitamin and supplement industry, and the fully air-conditioned state-of-the-art facility is LEED certified and designed to produce the highest quality products and provide a comfortable work environment. There’s more to Pharmavite’s relationship with the region than just a large company employing a local workforce. The company’s purpose to bring the gift of health to life starts with its employees and the community. “Giving back to local communities that the company has its roots in is an essential part of Pharmavite’s DNA,” said Jeff Boutelle, CEO of Pharmavite. The Opelika team exemplifies this spirit of giving back through ongoing grassroots efforts from disaster relief and helping build homes to volunteering at the local food bank. “Our work varies depending on the community, but one of our main areas of focus is supporting the dedicated efforts of organizations working to provide much needed access to nutritious food despite limited funds and resources,” continued Boutelle. Pharmavite also supports education efforts and access to nutritious food by working with the community garden promoting the importance of a nutrient-rich diet through locally grown produce, area high school students seeking to expand their knowledge in particular professions, and funding the local food bank’s backpack program which provides hungry children with nutritious and easy-to- prepare food to take home on weekends and school vacations when other resources are not available. ......
