San Diego firm moving operations to Las Vegas

Thursday, June 15, 2000 | 11 a.m.

A San Diego nutritional products and medical testing kit maker plans to consolidate most of its manufacturing operations in Las Vegas.

Hydrogiene Corp., to be renamed Synergie Holdings Corp., said it signed a 10-year lease with Capital Asset Security Holdings Inc. to build a 93,000-square-foot plant in Las Vegas at Pama Lane near McCarran International Airport to house its manufacturing operations.

Currently a 35-worker company, Hydrogiene plans to create 200-300 new jobs at the Las Vegas plant, which will produce and distribute Hydrogiene's herbal and nutrients products, as well as its intimate cleansing systems TheraClenze and MediClenze. "We want to do the production, assembly, packaging and testing of in-house equipment for better quality control. Currently, that's getting done through vendors in California," said Henry Lloyd, a Hydrogiene vice president.

"Las Vegas has a good labor force and is becoming a showplace city."

"None of our 14 subsidiaries in Provo, Utah, and San Diego will be be closed. We are just consolidating vendor activity into our own in-house operations," he said. "After the consolidation, the vendors will be retained in other capacities."
