DCC Health & Beauty Solutions is pleased to announce that Ion Labs and Elite One Source (formerly Nutritional Labs Inc) are joining forces to create a new, bigger, and better business - Ion Nutritional Labs. The combination of Ion and Elite will create a scale business with a manufacturing footprint of 300,000 sq. ft. across its high-quality, well-invested facilities in Missoula, MT, and Largo, FL., and a broad offering of form factors and services.

Ion Nutritional Labs’ manufacturing locations in the northwest and southeast of the country create an enhanced operating platform for greater development and enhanced technical and customer service capabilities to leading health supplement brands across North America.

Commenting on the establishment of Ion Nutritional Labs, its CEO Ivan Ilchev said: 

“I am excited to lead the new Ion Nutritional Labs business. Both Ion and Elite have a long heritage of innovation, built on foundations of strong technical capability. The enhanced scale and capabilities of the combined business will enable Ion Nutritional Labs to offer customers a broader range of form factors with best-in-class customer-focused solutions and increased flexibility.

Ion Nutritional Labs will be an exciting and rewarding place to work. With the continued support of the DCC Group, our accelerated growth will create new career development opportunities for teams across both locations. Together we are stronger!

I look forward to working with Greg, and the rest of the Missoula leadership group, over the coming months as we transition to the new Ion Nutritional Lab organization. I wish Greg every success in his future role with the DCC Health & Beauty Solutions team.”

Tito Flores, VP of Sales and Business Development of Ion Nutritional Labs commented:

“I’m excited to be part of the next chapter of DCC Health & Beauty Solutions’ development in the US nutritional contract manufacturing sector. Combining our two established businesses to create Ion Nutritional Labs leverages a wealth of expertise in the health supplements sector and will better support our customers with innovative products and robust continuity of supply.

We look forward to sharing more about Ion Nutritional Labs with our customers, other stakeholders, and the wider market over the coming weeks and months!”
