Cosmetics contract manufacturer Kolmar Korea has reportedly completed its second U.S. factory in Scott Township, Pennsylvania, which effectively expands its tariff-free production base, per Korea Herald.
The new facility opens at a boom time for K-beauty, particularly sunscreens.
The 17,805-square-meter facility will support the production of color cosmetics, skin care and sunscreen (for which it holds an FDA certification), in contrast with its first U.S. plant, which focused solely on color cosmetics.
Furthermore, the site's ability to produce locally allows it to avoid certain American import tariffs.
The new factory will reportedly produce 120 million units annually, bringing its total U.S. output to 300 million units. Including its Canadian subsidiary, North American production capacity will now reach 470 million units.
