Verus International, a consumer packaged goods company developing branded product lines in the United States, South America, and the Middle East, has announced that it is completing a 10,000-square-foot manufacturing facility located in Houston. The facility will operate as a Verus subsidiary under the name Success Labs and has been designed to provide flexibility to manufacture and package a variety of wet and dry consumer goods. The facility’s initial focus will be gummi and nutraceutical products, followed by other to-be-announced products.
“Success Labs represents a major milestone for our company and is part of our goal to become more vertically integrated when in-house processing makes sense,” explained Verus CEO Anshu Bhatnagar. “Surprisingly enough, worldwide gummi production capacity is currently strained, so this is partly a strategic move, given our expectations for a major expansion into more Major League Baseball (MLB) team markets during 2020.”
Equipment installation is already underway, and the facility is expected to become operational in early 2020. This single Houston location will enable Verus to more easily service a nationwide footprint for a variety of branded packaged goods as well as export internationally. Additionally, Verus has an option to expand the facility’s footprint within the current building to almost twice its current size to support future growth.
