Sunstar relocated its former sites in Chicago and Elgin to the new Schaumburg site beginning last fall. The new 302,000 sq. ft. facility is located on an 80 acre greenfield site.

The size of the research laboratories has doubled to further the development of expanded product categories.
“Our newest operation in Schaumburg is just the latest investment the Sunstar group has made to allow us to meet the growing global demand for our products here in North America and around the world. We will expand our product range with new and innovative products, leveraging the new state-of-the-art R&D facilities and expanded range of manufacturing expertise,” said Richard McMahon, Oral Care Company President of the Sunstar Group.
