Inside the New Albany
International Business Park

We’re proud to call the New Albany International Business Park home. What began as a beauty and personal care manufacturing cluster has evolved into a thriving ecosystem of advanced manufacturing across multiple industries—from beauty and pharmaceuticals to technology and beyond.

This unique campus brings together specialized manufacturers, each excelling at their specific craft, all positioned to work seamlessly together. Recent expansions from technology leaders, pharmaceutical manufacturers, and specialized packaging partners continue to strengthen the ecosystem, with additional developments on the horizon.

What makes this significant for our partners? Speed, efficiency, and specialized expertise.

The Power of Specialized Partnership

The Generalist Approach

Some suppliers claim they can handle every aspect of your project. But when one company tries to do everything, they’re rarely excellent at any one thing.

Think: All-in-one printer that struggles with every function

The Specialist Model

The New Albany International Business Park brings together best-in-class specialists who excel at their specific craft and know how to work together seamlessly.

Think: Specialized equipment for each task, integrated to work flawlessly

The Vertical Integration Advantage

For beauty and personal care specifically, the park’s original vision remains powerful. When your bottle manufacturer, fragrance supplier, label printer, and final assembler are all within walking distance, lead times shrink dramatically. Products that once took months to move through the supply chain now take weeks. Components that traveled thousands of miles now travel across the street.

Rapid prototyping and iteration – Test and refine products faster with all partners on site

Reduced transportation costs – Eliminate cross-country shipping between production stages and minimize dunnage needs with shorter transport routes between partners

Enhanced collaboration – Daily interaction between specialists fosters innovation

Greater supply chain visibility – Real-time coordination across all production partners

Sustainability benefits – Dramatically reduced transportation miles mean lower carbon emissions

Industry diversification – Access to expertise across beauty, pharmaceutical, and technology sectors

Our position as a key manufacturing partner in this ecosystem means we coordinate with multiple specialists daily, managing complex logistics to ensure your products move seamlessly from component to finished package.

Why Our Location Matters to You

For Time-Sensitive Launches
When you're racing against the clock to hit a seasonal window or respond to a market trend, our location within this integrated ecosystem means we can mobilize resources faster than traditional distributed supply chains.
For High-Volume Consistency
Running 40-50 assembly lines on busy days with up to 800 workers requires sophisticated coordination. Our proximity to component suppliers and manufacturing partners means we can maintain consistent production flow without the delays that come with long-distance shipping.
For Complex Projects
Multi-component packaging and manufacturing projects benefit enormously from having all partners in close proximity. Quality issues get resolved in hours, not days. Design changes can be implemented quickly. Communication happens in real-time.
For Product Recovery and Rework
Mistakes happen—especially with overseas production. Our location enables rapid response when products need reworking. Working directly with our park partners, we can quickly salvage, repackage, or correct products that would otherwise be written off, turning potential losses into market-ready inventory.
For Supply Chain Resilience
Recent global supply chain disruptions have highlighted the risks of over-extended supply chains. Our vertically integrated location provides a more resilient model—one that's proven its value when traditional supply chains struggled.
For American Manufacturing
With Ohio ranking #1 nationally in exports of soaps, waxes, and cleaning preparations, and #3 in overall manufacturing, our location positions you in the heart of American manufacturing resurgence.
For Flexible Labor Capacity
Our innovative temporary staffing model creates a large, cross-trained labor pool that flows between companies in the park—workers move to where they're needed most, ensuring you have the right capacity at the right time.
