CHANDLER, Ariz. (Dec. 13, 2022) — Gummi World, a leading dietary supplement manufacturer, today celebrated the ribbon-cutting and grand opening ceremony for its new 55,000-square-foot dietary supplement manufacturing facility in Chandler, Arizona.

Chandler Mayor Kevin Hartke, the Arizona Commerce Authority, along with the City of Chandler and community leaders joined Gummi World President Alexander Candelario to celebrate the grand opening of the multi-million-dollar facility, which will bring hundreds of new jobs to the area.

“We are so happy to be in Chandler," said Alexander Candelario, President of Gummi World, at today's grand opening. "Chandler has made us feel welcome — we feel we've found a home here for our new manufacturing facility."

The community of Chandler is committed to developing a sense of place that brings in visitors and enriches the lives of residents — a fact which played a large role in the company’s decision to expand in the area.

Additionally, Gummi World chose Chandler for its high quality, experienced labor force and market reach. The company’s presence is already creating a buzz and drawing attention from the Phoenix business community.

“Today’s grand opening showcases Arizona’s leadership as a manufacturing powerhouse,” said Sandra Watson, President and CEO of the Arizona Commerce Authority. “With this new state-of-the-art manufacturing facility, Gummi World joins Chandler’s vibrant manufacturing landscape while bringing hundreds of skilled jobs to the area.”

Top-of-the-line machinery and specialized drying rooms will accommodate the long list of clients the company is working with to produce gummy vitamins.
