On April 10, 2025, flavor and fragrance supplier MANE opened its new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Woodlawn, Ohio. The facility is an expansion of the company’s existing Woodlawn campus and will increase the manufacturing capability of the company’s liquid flavors.
According to the company’s press release, the investment in the new facility exceeded $100 million and will support MANE’s growth plans for the next 20 years. The plant is 100,000 square-feet and offers up to 15,000 metric tons of production capability.
“The new Woodlawn facility marks a bold, strategic move aimed at increasing MANE’s market share in the liquid flavors category in North America and gives us a significant competitive edge, especially in the beverage market,” said Amy McDonald, president of MANE’s North American flavor division. “The expansion allows us to uphold MANE’s customer-focused manufacturing strategy, ensuring a reliable supply and even greater agility and responsiveness to customer needs.”
In alignment with MANE’s environmental, social and governance goals, the new facility will utilize advancements in robotic technology to allow for an increase in automated capacity. Further, the facility allows for a threefold increase in large-tank compounding capacity while doubling its current capacity to produce emulsion-based flavor systems. The plant will use 30% solar energy for its energy requirements.
