To Keep Pace with Growth, Crown Builds Out Manufacturing Complex

The $7.5 million project is expected to be online in early Q2, 2023. 

Crown Laboratories is adding 60,000 square feet to its manufacturing complex in Johnson City, TN. The facility is home to PanOxyl acne wash, Blue Lizard Australian Sunscreen, and Sarna anti-itch lotion. 

The additional 60,000 sq. ft. will bring the Lafe Cox Drive facility to approximately 250,000 square feet – enough to accommodate the warehouse space that is required to keep up with Crown's growing manufacturing and packaging needs. The facility manufactures and distributes products for the global market, including prescription, medical devices, OTC and cosmetic products.  . 

"We have been at maximum capacity for some time now," says Jeff Bedard, President and CEO of Crown, in a news release. "Our organization has grown significantly and as a result, our production demands have nearly doubled in the past couple of years. With that increased production comes additional componentry, cartons and materials. By expanding our warehouse and adding close to 5,000 pallet locations, we will be able to conduct our operations with more efficiency and with better financial controls."
