  Hi Bob.  I’m thinking that plant in Solon is the former Matrix plant, occupied by L’Oréal for a spell.  If I’m right it was one well-equipped manufacturing plant already.  Score one for the South Koreans. The Variblend device is pretty cool, but not unique.  I remember working on a dual-chambered product in the early 1980’s called Dial-A-Tan for Beecham, in a dual chambered LDPE tube. It had SPF 25 in one chamber, SPF 4 in another; you then dialed in your tanning range. LOTS of gas chromatography work to validate it.  Bad marketing killed it. Too bad.
