New Albany’s Personal Care and Beauty Innovation Campus has landed two new companies that represent different links in the rapidly-evolving, vertically-integrated supply chain campus that will enable consumer products to go from concept to shelf.

Jeyes, a company based in England which manufactures, markets, sells and distributes household cleaning and home fragrance products throughout the world, will add 150 new jobs when it moves operations currently based in Mexico to a multi-tenant building that also houses Alene Candles.

Newark-based Anomatic which packages personal care and cosmetic products, will bring 185 new employees to New Albany when it completes its 75,000-square-foot facility.

Combined with recently announced moves by industry leaders in the personal care and beauty market — Accel, Knowlton Development, Vee Pak, Alene Candles and Axium Plastics — these new additions will enable personal care and beauty products to be developed, manufactured, packaged and distributed from one campus.

“We are creating a supply chain, vertically, where each company plays a different role in the process and represents a different link in the chain,” says Jennifer Chrysler, director of community development. “When these projects are completed, any beauty product line can get its products from concept to shelf.”

Innovate New Albany, the city’s incubator for technology startups, entrepreneurs and small businesses, features 16,000 square feet of space within the New Albany Business Park’s Signature Office Building, 8000 Walton Parkway.
