Medical supply manufacturer to expand Cleveland operations

Formulated Solutions Cleveland, LLC, will invest $43.6 million to establish manufacturing operations in Cleveland, creating 524 new jobs after its recent acquisition of the 455,000-square-foot former Beiersdorf facility. The company plans to hire 380 new staff members and extend job offers to the substantial majority of the former Beiersdorf employees. The expansion to Tennessee will allow Formulated Solutions to better meet its growing customer demand while also broadening the company’s pharmaceutical production. Headquartered in Largo, Fla., Formulated Solutions specializes in the development and manufacturing of aerosols and barrier pressurized packs, tubes, liquids and semi-solids, including over the counter (OTC), medical device and branded prescription drugs. Once operational, the Cleveland facility will serve as the company’s second commercial production site and first production location outside of Florida.
