Wellington Foods is a contract manufacturer of liquid and powder based dietary supplements. The company was founded in 1974 and since that time has proudly manufactured products for many brands in the dietary supplement industry.
The supplement industry has grown significantly since 1974, and Wellington Foods has grown along with it.
As our customers have expanded their product offerings and distribution, Wellington Foods has expanded our capabilities and production capacity to meet the needs of a growing industry. Today, we manufacture products for many well-known brands with national and international distribution. You can find products produced by Wellington Foods in all categories of retail including club stores and warehouses, drug stores, mass market, convenience stores, value chains and direct to consumer distribution.
Wellington’s core competence is the development and production of liquid dietary supplements and powder based dietary supplements. Within these two main product types, we produce products in many different categories, servicing a wide variety of brands and market segments. Our capabilities are also broad and varied, allowing us to blend and package products in a number of different sizes, package types and packaging configurations. We continue to add to our product offerings on a regular basis, with new packaging equipment and capacity to keep pace with our customer’s needs.
In 2010, Wellington Foods moved into a 120,000 square foot state-of-the-art headquarters and manufacturing facility located on 5½ acres in the City of Corona, California.
This facility houses an extensive blending, packaging, production and bottling operation, as well as our Research & Development laboratory and our Quality Control laboratory. The facility provides the needed space to achieve best practice and meet regulatory requirements in many areas, including material storage and separation and process control. Our facility management team and Quality Systems department work on a daily basis to maintain our facility to the high standard that we require.
In 2015, Wellington expanded again and now operates in over 200,000 square feet of space
