Flavors Producer MANE Opens New Ohio Plant

Flavors and fragrances producer MANE has officially opened a new manufacturing facility at its campus in Southwest Ohio, company officials announced Thursday.

The $100 million expansion in suburban Cincinnati would provide a five-fold increase in the company's North American production capacity and would support MANE's growth plans "for the next 20 years."

The company said that the 100,000-square-foot facility has 25,000 square feet of production space, 60,000 square feet for ambient, refrigerated and frozen storage space, and an expanded warehouse. It also offers a three-fold increase in "large tank compounding capacity" and doubles its capacity for emulsion-based flavor systems.

“The new Woodlawn facility marks a bold strategic move aimed at increasing MANE’s market share in the liquid flavors category in North America and gives us a significant competitive edge, especially in the beverage market,” said Amy McDonald, president of MANE’s North American flavor division, said in the announcement. “The expansion allows us to uphold MANE’s customer-focused manufacturing strategy, ensuring a reliable supply and even greater agility and responsiveness to customer needs.”
