Else Nutrition Holdings Inc (OTCQX:BABYF, TSX-V:BABY) has announced the establishment of a dedicated US office and operations based near Columbus, Ohio.
The company noted that consistent strong growth of Else Nutrition product sales has led to the need for a full-time team on the ground in the US.
In July of this year, former Abbott executive, Mike Glick joined Else Nutrition as General Manager and VP, North America. In his role within Else, Glick will oversee the rapidly growing Else Nutrition business across the US and Canada.
The company said a team is being actively built out, and Glick has selected Westerville, Ohio (near Columbus) as the headquarters location for North American operations.

"The Columbus area is a vibrant, diverse metropolitan area that is ideally located within 500 miles of two-thirds of the US population and is known for talent and expertise in the nutrition industry," Glick said in a statement.
"Due to lower-than-average housing costs, great school systems, and temperate weather, it has seen tremendous growth and will continue to do so as we expand as a company. This is a great place to work, and we’re excited to build out the local team," he added.
Else North America office is located at 501 W. Schrock Road, Westville, Ohio with a team of five currently.
