Amway Breaks Ground on New Manufacturing Facility

Executives of Amway have met with elected officials, and area business and community leaders, to break ground on a $38 million botanical concentrate manufacturing plant in Quincy, WA. The 48,000 square foot facility is projected to create 30 jobs when operations begin in 2014. It will process botanicals from Amway’s nearby Trout Lake Farm operations, the largest certified organic herb farm in North America. The Quincy facility is part of a $185 million U.S. manufacturing expansion Amway announced earlier this year to meet growing global demand for its top-selling Nutrilite brand of vitamin, mineral and dietary supplements.
