Nutramax Laboratories and its family of companies, a leading manufacturer of nutritional supplement products for people and their pets, is expanding operations in Lancaster County. The company is investing an additional $15 million in the project, creating 125 new jobs in Lancaster, S.C.

Since 1992, Nutramax Laboratories has been researching and developing high-quality nutritional supplement products for people and their pets, and is an example of free enterprise in action. In 2010, the company conducted a multi-state site search and moved their animal health business and corporate operations to Lancaster County and, since that time, has been actively engaged in the Lancaster community, including providing support to local schools, area law enforcement and fire services and many local charitable organizations. Currently, Nutramax Laboratories operates facilities in both South Carolina and Maryland, and continues to be an industry leader in setting and adhering to high standards in research, manufacturing and quality control.

To service rapidly growing demand for its animal health products, Nutramax has purchased a 138,000-square-foot building, located at 1759 Flat Creek Road in Lancaster to expand its local footprint. The new facility will complement the company’s existing Lancaster facilities located at 946 & 851 Quality Drive. Hiring for the new positions began in 2015.

The Coordinating Council for Economic Development has approved job development credits, as well as a Rural Infrastructure Fund grant to assist with the costs of the Company’s real property improvements.

“My Dad, Robert Henderson, founded the Company in 1992 and started with only two employees. We now have over 400 employees nationwide. We believe this shows there are still American success stories. Our company’s mission is quite simple:To serve the Lord and glorify Him using the gifts He has given our employees to research, develop, manufacture, and market products that improve the quality of life for people and their pets. We have a commitment beyond just investing in facilities and jobs in South Carolina. We want to continue to be a part of making Lancaster a great place to work and live, including providing support to local organizations that are in line with our Mission.” – Nutramax Laboratories CEO and President Todd Henderson, DVM

This is why we are so very excited to see Nutramax Laboratories expand their investment in Lancaster County. We are enthusiastic partners with Nutramax Laboratories and look forward to assisting in their continued success.” –Lancaster County Council Chairman Bob Bundy
