Strategically located in Jeffersonville, Indiana, the new
facility will employ 200 and represents an investment of more than
$60 million.
1440 Foods, a leading portfolio of active nutrition brands, will
soon open a new production facility in Jeffersonville, Indiana, to
accommodate growing demand for healthy, on-the-go snacking
options.
Jointly owned by 4x4 Capital and Bain Capital Private Equity,
1440 Foods exists to provide people energy to unleash their
potential through its innovative portfolio of healthy foods and
supplements that are designed to support muscle development,
recovery, and overall wellness goals. 1440’s portfolio combines
powerful and complementary growth brands, including:
- Pure Protein, a leading lifestyle nutrition line known
for its bestselling portfolio of bars, ready-to-drink beverages,
powders, and savory snacks;
- MET-Rx, a sports nutrition brand with over three decades
of unwavering commitment to offering delicious meal replacement
products which fuel workouts and optimize performance;
- Body Fortress, a leading performance protein powder
brand trusted by disciplined fitness enthusiasts to strengthen
their bodies both physically and mentally.
1440 Foods will renovate 200,000 square feet of office and
manufacturing space at 301 Salem Road, in River Ridge Commerce
Center, and install new equipment, representing a total investment
of more than $60 million. 1440 Foods has committed to a long-term
lease of the River Ridge property and plans to maintain a
consistent presence in the community. Hiring is under way for the
plant and will continue through 2024 with an anticipated opening
date in 2025.
The development of the new facility is supported by up to $3.7
million in incentive-based tax credits through the Indiana Economic
Development Corporation (IEDC). The project is additionally
supported by other partners including America Place and One
Southern Indiana (1si).
1440 Foods considered several locations for its new production
site, where most of its products eventually will be made, but chose
Jeffersonville, Indiana for its established transportation and
logistics infrastructure and central proximity to distribution
points and retailers across the United States.
"The opening of the Jeffersonville location is a significant
milestone in our plan to make protein-rich snacking options
accessible to as many people as possible,” said Alexandre Médicis,
Chairman of the Board for 1440 Foods. “We considered several
locations but found that Jeffersonville was perfect due to its
proximity to major transportation channels and availability of a
skilled and ready workforce. We look forward to becoming part of
the Jeffersonville community, and we’re eager to expand our
fantastic team in the coming months.”
