Odle McGuire Shook is the architect for the renovation of the facility to house the relocated sun tan lotion manufacturer Sunshine Manufacturing, LLC.  The lotion manufacturer, which is a subsidiary of New Sunshine, LLC, is moving from sunny Tempe, Arizona to even sunnier Indianapolis, Indiana to produce tanning products and lotions. Through 2015, the company will create up to 180 new jobs.  “Our manufacturing sector continues to see significant growth and Sunshine’s announcement is another boost to this important segment of our economy,” said Governor Mitch Daniels.

Working with design-build partners Victory Unlimited Construction and DEEM Mechanical and Electrical, OMS completed design documents in 30 days.  The 108,000 square foot facility off of Kentucky Avenue includes areas for business offices, product research and development, production room, quality assurance lab, packaging areas, and pallet rack storage areas for receiving and distribution.  The New Sunshine LLC has been in business since 1987 and has become the leading supplier of tanning lotions in the United States.

OMS is very proud to be part of this project and looks forward to continuing to work with Sunshine Manufacturing LLC as well as being a part of the important economic boost to Indiana this will provide.
