Crown Laboratories Opens Expanded Production Facility

The $7.5 million expansion project in Johnson City, Tenn. increases manufacturing and warehouse space to support business growth.

Crown Laboratories completed a 60,000-square-foot expansion at its manufacturing complex in Johnson City, Tennessee.

A year in the making, the $7.5 million expansion project at Lafe Cox Drive increases manufacturing and warehouse space to support business growth. The approximately 250,000-square-foot facility manufactures and distributes a diverse portfolio of aesthetic, premium, and therapeutic skincare products for domestic and international markets. 

Crown produces and distributes PanOxyl acne wash, Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen, StriVectin anti-aging skin care, and the recently launched BIOJUVE brand, a living microbiome technology serum.

"Crown's steady and significant growth has brought physical capacity challenges," says Jeff Bedard, President and CEO of the Johnson City-based company, in New York City.  "Our production demands have nearly doubled in the past few years. With that increased production comes additional componentry, cartons and materials. By expanding our footprint and adding 60,000 square feet, we can now support our expanding customer base with greater efficiency and world-class service."

"This is a great day for Crown and our community," adds Nadeem Moiz, Crown's Chief Operations Officer and Chief Financial Officer. "This investment and expanded footprint will allow Crown to support additional volumes, product complexity, and advanced technical requirements.  We expect this growth will bring new and exciting opportunities for our employees and stakeholders in this community."
