Earth’s Creation, USA establishing operations in Greenville County
Vitamin manufacturer investing $2.8 million to establish Upstate manufacturing facility
Today we announced that Earth’s Creation, USA, a family-owned company that develops and manufactures premium-quality nutritional supplements in capsules, powders, tablets and liquids is setting up operations in Travelers Rest. For our Greenville County residents, this will mean a $2.8-million investment and 44 new jobs when Earth’s Creation relocates its existing operations from Miami-Dade County in Florida.
Established in 2000, Earth’s Creation not only produces its own brand of products, the company also offers private labeling services to customers who want to build their own brand. Among the products developed under the Earth’s Creation brand are vitamins and minerals, skin creams and lotions, sports supplements and more.
Earth’s Creation will make its new home in an existing 99,000 square-foot facility sitting on six acres of land off of U.S. Route 25. There, at 18 Page Court, Earth’s Creation will have a chance to grow and expand in a facility that is significantly larger than its current 15,000 square-foot home in Florida.
As a manufacturer and wholesaler that ships products to a variety of distribution centers, the Earth’s Creation team indicated that having access to South Carolina’s Inland Port in Greer is an invaluable aspect of its infrastructure needs. The Page Court site in Travelers Rest provided the ideal landing place for the Earth’s Creation team to call home, and I’m confident that the unique resources of Greenville County are going to help Earth’s Creation thrive as a part of our community.
For our part, GADC’s ability to coordinate available properties and to address local needs for companies like Earth’s Creation is one of our many strengths. By bringing this valuable service to the table, we are able to encourage more growing businesses to make their mark on Greenville County.
I hope you’ll join me in welcoming Earth’s Creation to our Travelers Rest community. If you’re interested in joining their team, you should contact Carlos Passwaters at passwatersc@yahoo.com
