“Greenville County is pleased with International Vitamin Corporation's decision to expand its business operations in Greenville County by producing well known dietary supplements and pharmaceutical products to the US and international markets as it has for over 50 years,” said H.G. “Butch” Kirven, Chairman of Greenville County Council. “This expansion means significant additional capital investment by the company here, coupled with a commitment to increasing job opportunities for local citizens. The company's decision reflects the high caliber of Greenville county's workforce, our low tax rates, and the unparalleled quality of life unique to our area.”
