JW Nutritional, a contract manufacturer of dietary supplements, functional foods, and pet nutrition, opened its new manufacturing facility in Plano, Texas. It's Plano facility will be dedicated almost exclusively to the production of the company's protein powders.

"This is an exciting milestone for us, as we now boast over 130,000 square feet of space with the addition of our new facility," said Jesse Windrix, President/Founder of JW Nutritional. "We're now able to bring our customers the same service with their protein products that they were already receiving from us out of our capsule and tablet facility."

According to company officials, news of the company's expansion comes on the heels of its receipt of a third party Good Manufacturing Practice certification from NSF, one of the strictest and most prestigious third party certifying bodies in the nutritional industry. The certification is a necessity for industry leaders, especially following an announcement that GNC, the nutritional retail giant, will no longer accept products produced outside of third party inspected facilities after December 31st , 2016.

"Obtaining our NSF certificate shows our continued push for quality and affirms, beyond any doubt, that our products are fully compliant with all regulatory requirements," said Dragos Alevizache, Director of Quality. "We operate our facility as if we are in a glass building, open for anyone to look in and see just how their products are being made."
