Voyant Beauty held a groundbreaking ceremony October 4 at its Elkhart, IL, aerosol manufacturing location as part of its continued comprehensive investment in the facility. The expansion will enhance the facility’s processing capabilities, increase capacity and create new employment opportunities, according to the company.
When completed, the new construction and upgrades will add over 20,000 sq ft of new processing space to the Elkhart Facility, enabling an entirely new production line and other improvements. Voyant acquired the facility in 2020 when the company acquired part of KIK Consumer Products.
The groundbreaking was attended by Elkhart Mayor Rod Roberson, members of the Chamber of Commerce, and senior Voyant executives, including CEO Ed Byczynski. COO Ron Lane welcomed and addressed the audience, highlighting the expansion and the company’s vision for the future.
“This expansion, and others like it, enable us to meet our customers growing needs. It is another example of our commitment to innovation and growth,” said Byczynski.
“By investing in Elkhart, we are not only enhancing our operational capabilities but also contributing to the local economy and fostering a stronger, more resilient community,” he added.
The expansion is part of Voyant’s ongoing strategy to bolster manufacturing capabilities to meet the evolving needs of the industry. It is part of a broader strategy of R&D, commercialization and manufacturing investments, enabling Voyant to produce an increasing range of products that meet the increasing demand from its global customers, the company said.
The firm indicated that expansion also creates new jobs and aligns with Voyant Beauty’s long-term vision for sustainable development and community engagement.
