Revive Active opens 10,000 sq ft state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Mullingar
Revive Active, Ireland’s No1 VMS brand, has opened its second state-of-the-art manufacturing facility in Mullingar, County Westmeath. This new 10,000 sq ft factory comes on the back of Revive Active’s extraordinary growth over the last number of years.
Revive Active has become the largest VMS brand in Ireland, sold through an extensive network of 1500 pharmacies and health food stores across the county. The additional 10,000 sq. ft. of manufacturing and warehousing space underpins the company’s international expansion, out of which they will service customers in the Middle East, Europe and Africa, amongst others. With this second site now operational, Revive Active has created over 40 jobs for the local area and has 75 employees nationwide.
The multi-award-winning Irish supplement brand is also a proud member of Guaranteed Irish and Love Irish Food. Celebrating its 13th year in business next month, Revive Active has cemented its reputation as Ireland’s number-one supplement range, and continues to stand out from its competitors due to its powerful formulation, only using the best active ingredients that significantly impact your health and well-being.
The new facility was officially opened by Minister for Enterprise, Trade and Employment, Peter Burke TD.
Enterprise Ireland has been fundamental to the success story having provided mentoring and financial support from the initial set up in the early days. This funding has ensured growth within the Irish and International markets and was pivotal pre-Brexit when founder Daithi O’Connor made a decision to move production from an outsourced facility in the UK to Mullingar. The first plant was opened in 2018 attended by Minister Burke and today’s opening of the 2nd facility marks a fundamental part of the international growth journey for the business.
Jenny Melia, Executive Director, Enterprise Ireland, commented: “I wish to congratulate Revive Active on their new state-of-the-art facility here in Mullingar and commend the global ambition of this indigenous company to compete at the highest level, supplying to some of the largest retailers across Ireland, the UK and the Eurozone. Enterprise Ireland is committed to supporting companies like Revive Active to increase their level of innovation, improve their competitiveness and expand their global footprint, with the ultimate goal of delivering export growth and jobs in Ireland and we look forward to continuing to work with the company in the future.”
Most recently Revive Active has internationally launched into Celerio Group in Portugal, which will see the full product range on the shelves of a prestigious health store group throughout the country. Further expansion will come through Nordics and UAE markets in 2024 with European growth forecast in 2025
Colm Horton, Operations Director, Revive Active, said: “We are delighted to welcome Minister Burke to officially open our 2nd plant in Mullingar today. It doesn’t seem like it 5 years ago when Minister Burke attended the opening of our first factory in Lough Sheever Park, Mullingar. Our goal at that time was to provide employment to 10 people in the locality and it is a very proud moment for the entire company to see growth over the last five years that has seen our team grow to 40 people.”
The multi-award-winning Irish supplement brand is also a proud member of Guaranteed Irish and Love Irish Food. Celebrating its 13th year in business next month, Revive Active has cemented its reputation as Ireland’s number-one supplement range and continues to stand out from its competitors due to its powerful formulation, only using the best active ingredients that significantly impact your health and well-being.
As the number 1 VMS brand in Ireland, thousands of people wake up to a sachet of Revive Active each morning and the brand’s mission is for Revive Active to become a morning routine for a global audience. The new production facility in Mullingar will allow for further international expansion in the coming years.
