Cosmetics manufacturer Orean expands US site to benefit UK brands

Private label cosmetic manufacturing company Orean has expanded its manufacturing capabilities in the US to help compliment its existing UK facilities.

The company recently expanded its US operation by relocating to a 72,000 sq ft plant in Hobart, Indiana, adding overseas capabilities to its other manufacturing site in the UK, in West Yorkshire.

Orean, which specialise in producing high-end skin and hair care products, said that the expansion benefits UK brands as its allows for freight-cost free shipping across the Atlantic, as well as reduced lead-times and a lower carbon footprint.

The company added that it had also recently lowered minimum order quantity by half, to 2,500 units, to benefit indie beauty brands.

Dan Williams, CEO said: “We’re so excited for our customers. The relocation from Illinois to our larger premises in the 2nd largest manufacturing state in the US allows us to attract some incredible talent and gives us further room for investment and growth.

"The benefits for our existing UK partners are incredible. We’re wanting to open this up to more UK brands that are currently shipping or looking to ship to the US. Everyone should take advantage of this opportunity”
