Vidya has announced the opening of its US Probiotic Supplement Manufacturing Facility in Bunnell, Florida.
The company has expanded its manufacturing capabilities with a new 28,750-square-foot facility dedicated to probiotic dietary supplements, designed to ensure "optimal conditions for microorganism viability and potency."
With this addition, Vidya's Bunnell campus now totals more than 48,000 square feet, combining manufacturing, research and development, and the US headquarters.
Once fully operational, the expansion is expected to create over 100 jobs, providing a boost to the local economy.
The facility is specifically designed for probiotic processing and features advanced environmental controls, dedicated processing areas, and integrated quality systems for handling raw materials, formulation, encapsulation, and packaging of finished products.
Vidya stated that this facility is the first of its kind in North America to offer fully dedicated manufacturing for both spore-based and non-spore-based probiotics in separate buildings.
According to the company, intentionally separating these operations optimizes production conditions for each category of microorganisms, enhancing product stability and quality.
"This addition reflects our long-term investment in doing biotics the right way," said Chandra Sekhar, Global VP at Vidya. "We are focused on building infrastructure that protects strain integrity and allows our partners to grow with confidence."
The facility supports single- and multi-strain formulations, synbiotic blends, and multiple delivery formats, including capsules, stick packs, sachets, and powders. Its capabilities span pilot and clinical production through full commercial scale, custom formulation, and contract manufacturing.
With the opening of this new manufacturing site, Vidya continues to expand its US manufacturing capabilities while supporting the growing demand for clinically positioned biotic solutions.
