Originally built by the engineering team at All-Fill Machinery in Exton, Pennsylvania, the facility significantly expands VitaWorks' production capacity, technical capabilities, and national manufacturing footprint. This strategic acquisition strengthens VitaWorks' position as a premier partner in the health and wellness manufacturing space by adding advanced infrastructure for high-speed powder filling, pouching, stick pack production, and large-scale packet capabilities, along with specialized capabilities for probiotic and effervescent manufacturing. The Phlex facility includes fully environmentally controlled production suites, designed to support the precise handling and packaging of sensitive ingredients and complex formulations.

As part of this next phase of growth, VitaWorks and Döhler will establish the Döhler Flavor Lab within the Phlex facility, creating a dedicated center for best-in-class flavor development, natural food technology, and custom extract innovation. This collaboration will further elevate VitaWorks' ability to bring highly differentiated, consumer-relevant products to market with speed, precision, and world-class formulation support.

Together, these facilities provide a highly diversified manufacturing platform capable of supporting a broad range of categories, technologies, and delivery systems for both emerging and established brands. Keith Frankel, Owner and CEO, commented: "We are incredibly excited to continue building out our presence in Arizona and to meaningfully expand our capacity and service capabilities in high-speed jar filling, stick pack production, and large-scale packet manufacturing. The Arizona environment is exceptionally well suited for ingredient blending, flavor system development, and precision processing, and we are especially excited to be installing a state-of-the-art probiotics operation that will include blending, production, and packaging within a fully controlled environment. This development makes our group of companies truly unique in the industry and positions us as best-in-class in delivering one of the widest ranges of product services available today.
