Our Company

Vi-Jon is a privately held Health & Beauty Care Company, serving retailers globally. Operating nearly a million square feet of production and distribution centers, our plants operate around the clock, five days a week, and distribute our products across the nation, seven days a week. Vi-Jon headquarters has called St. Louis home since 1912.

 

We recognize that a company is not a building, not a production line, not equipment, not products, but people. Our company is not made up of just people, but individuals who together make up a family, the Vi-Jon Family. Every March 4th (the anniversary of the birthday of our Founder, John B. Brunner), all of us can say we have contributed a part of our lives to this fine tradition.
