Agilex announced its new manufacturing facility will be moved to Franklin Township, Somerset County, New Jersey beginning in the first quarter of 2017. The state-of-the-art, 60,000 square foot plant will feature automated compounding technology and manufacturing processes to cater for a diverse customer base and their evolving needs. The new plant is expected to create 15-20 jobs for New Jersey.
"Everything about this building, from the design and layout to the equipment and the staffing, is intended to maintain service levels to our long-time, loyal customers while allowing us to attract new clients." - Ray Hughes, president and CEO, Agilex
Agilex's current two facilities in Canton, Georgia and Branchburg, New Jersey, will eventually close and move to the new location. The company's two other locations—the manufacturing facility in Zhaoqing, China and the creative center in Piscataway, New Jersey—will remain as is.
"After a long and thoughtful planning process," said Ray Hughes, president and CEO, Agilex, "We have decided to consolidate into a single manufacturing plant that can service our portfolio of large and middle market clients, as well as the 'early stages brands' that drive innovation in the consumer product fragrance world. Everything about this building, from the design and layout to the equipment and the staffing, is intended to maintain service levels to our long-time, loyal customers while allowing us to attract new clients. As an organization offering 'big company resources with small company values,' Agilex fragrances is a very attractive partner"
