Indigo Wild, a previous 25 Under 25® winner and former Thinking Bigger Business cover story, plans to open a second manufacturing facility in Kansas City for its line of all-natural personal care products.

Scheduled to open in the spring of 2015, the new facility will be housed in a refurbished 29,000-square-foot building at 2800 Mercier St., where Indigo Wild’s popular Zum Wash and Zum Clean Laundry Soap will be produced.

“We researched many areas in Kansas City to open our second facility,” said Emily Voth, founder of Indigo Wild, in a release. “This neighborhood parallels Indigo Wild’s culture and mission to stay in the urban core and revive a structure, rather than tearing down or building a new one.

“And we couldn’t be more thrilled to share the good vibes with our successful entrepreneurial neighbors,” such as Boulevard Brewing Company, the Roasterie Air-Roasted Coffee and Original Juan’s, Voth said. “There’s no other concentrated area of well-known KC-produced products like this.”

Wild Indigo will keep its main production facility at 3215 Wyandotte St.

Meanwhile, the $2.5 million renovation of the new Indigo Wild production facility is being managed by Urban Prairie Architectural Collaborative of Kansas City.

“To take this boarded-up building and breathe life back into its old bones is exciting,” said Joe Jimenez of Urban Prairie. “Emily’s vision to have a vibrant urban facility where visitors can watch soaps being made in an environment that preserves vintage design elements … and combines them with modern manufacturing components is brilliant. It’s a dream project.”

Twelve Indigo Wild employees will supervise the new facility’s production of Zum Wash and Zum Clean Laundry soap, including the newest scent, Sea Salt.

Wild Indigo was launched in 1996 by Voth, who has grown her company’s product lines to include household cleaning items, aromatherapy sprays and mists, lip balms, salves and baby and pet care products.

Wild Indigo products are sold online at indigowild.com, as well as at national and regional retail chains, including Whole Foods and Publix.
