The $3 million ZoomEssence, Inc. manufacturing plant has now open for business, which will create 20 jobs in the Boone County area.
Over 50 percent of the jobs at ZoomEssence are high-tech or tech support jobs, which pay out on average $67,000 a year, not including additional benefits.
ZoomEssence has a patented process called DriZoom which converts liquids to powders at ambient temperature. DriZoom is a less expensive process that replaces regular high-temperature spray drying by generating products with improved efficacy, longer shelf life and improved solubility.
Powdered products include food ingredients and flavors for a wide variety of drinks, soups, and snacks. It also serves the health market with vitamins and Omega-3 powders.
Tax incentives for ZoomEssence were approved by the the Kentucky Economic Development Finance Authority preliminarily approved, which will receive up to $300,000 through the Kentucky Business Investment program
Bob Corbett, CEO of ZoomEssence said, “We appreciate the support received from ... the entire Kentucky business community. We look forward to many more years of growth, job creation and involvement in our community.”
