Silver lining

Natural Immunogenics was ready for its next step. The manufacturer of mineral hydrosol health supplements had outgrown its 11,000-square-foot facility in Pompano Beach. And with no real reason why it had to stay on the east coast of Florida, the company began to look at other locations in the Sunshine State and North Carolina.

Manatee County won. Natural Immunogenics relocated to a site off Tallevast Road near Sarasota Bradenton International Airport in September 2014. The company retrofitted an existing manufacturing space and built it out even further to create a 32,000-square-foot facility with a state-of-the-art laboratory, custom production equipment and large distribution
plant.

“We wanted to find a place where we could develop a campus, our own community,” says Natural Immunogenics CEO Scott Short. “The company found this place and fell in love.”
