Steuart Nutrition Plans Erlanger, Kentucky, Headquarters-Production Operations

04/09/2026
Nutrition manufacturer Steuart Nutrition plans to establish operations in Erlanger, Kentucky. The $11.4 million project is expected to create 93 jobs in Kenton County.

The company’s new corporate headquarters and manufacturing facility will support production and packaging of dietary supplements, along with the addition of advanced production equipment, automated packaging systems, and facility improvements.

“We’re incredibly excited to step into Erlanger and the Commonwealth of Kentucky,” said Ben Steuart, CEO of Steuart Nutrition. “Our team is all-in, some relocating here, and we’re energized to grow, serve and thrive in this community. We are eager to create real opportunities for all of our stakeholders, including the Northern Kentucky community.”

To support the project, the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved a 10-year incentive agreement under the Kentucky Business Investment program that can provide up to $1 million in tax incentives based on job creation and investment targets.

“When a company chooses to locate a new facility here in Kentucky, it’s because they believe in what this great state has to offer, a talented and diverse workforce, unique access to resources and an ideal location for reaching customers quickly and efficiently,” noted Governor Andy Beshear. “Not only is this Steuart Nutrition’s first manufacturing operation in the commonwealth, the company is establishing its corporate headquarters here as well. This project will add 93 new jobs to the local community, and I look forward to the company’s future success here in the commonwealth.”

By meeting its annual targets over the agreement term, the company can be eligible to keep a portion of the new tax revenue it generates. The company may claim eligible incentives against its income tax liability and/or wage assessments. In addition, Steuart Nutrition can receive resources from Kentucky’s workforce service providers, including no-cost recruitment and job placement services, reduced-cost customized training, and job-training incentives.

“After a competitive national site location search, we are thrilled that Steuart Nutrition will invest in Northern Kentucky and begin manufacturing wellness supplements for a national customer base from the Cincinnati region,” added Lee Crume, CEO of BE NKY Growth Partnership. “Our region’s geographic location, logistics advantages and food-related workforce are assets to a growing food manufacturing cluster.”

Steuart Nutrition provides manufacturing and packaging solutions for dietary supplement and wellness brands, supporting production scale, quality control, and supply chain efficiency for customers across the nutrition and pharmaceutical industries.

“Erlanger’s momentum is undeniable. Businesses are choosing to locate, invest and expand here, and that’s a direct reflection of the pro-growth, business-friendly environment we’ve worked hard to create,” said Nick Eads, City of Erlanger Director of Economic Development.
