    3i Solutions Competes Globally from Wayne County Driving Innovation from the Lab Up

    July 14, 2025

    3i Solutions is a research-driven manufacturer specializing in advanced nanoemulsion delivery systems for nutritional supplements. In other words, 3i Solutions is a company that enhances the effectiveness of vitamins and other healthy products in the body by breaking them down into smaller pieces, allowing the body to utilize them more efficiently.

    The company collaborates with global health and wellness brands to enhance product performance by improving bioavailability, stability and absorption at the ingredient level. This product enhancement means that the vitamins in your morning supplement could actually work faster and more effectively, thanks to science happening right here in Wayne County. 

    With an accredited lab and a high-functioning R&D team, 3i Solutions operates as both a manufacturer and a problem-solving partner. It offers custom formulations and technical expertise without additional cost. This model eliminates friction in the development cycle, positioning the company as a trusted partner to brands navigating competitive, fast-moving markets.

    Headquartered in Wayne County, 3i Solutions generates more than $7 million in annual revenue with a team of just 12 people. That growth is grounded in scientific rigor, responsive service and a clear focus on creating long-term value. The company's strength lies in its skilled team of chemists, formulators and production specialists, who bring deep expertise and a collaborative mindset to every challenge they face. 3i's accredited lab, agile R&D capacity and production flexibility give clients a level of responsiveness that has become a competitive advantage over larger firms with slower product development cycles.

    Wayne County has been a central part of that strategy. Founder Charles Brain launched the company here and remains committed to keeping operations rooted in the community. The county's manufacturing heritage, access to infrastructure and reliable labor pool provide a strong operational foundation.

    The College of Wooster, with its robust chemistry program, has also served as a consistent pipeline for scientific talent. Beyond technical capacity, the community's family-friendly environment supports employee retention and reinforces the company's culture of mutual accountability and shared success.

    While 3i's highly specialized work limits local business-to-business collaboration, the Wayne County community plays a crucial role in enabling the company to attract and retain individuals who care about the work and each other. The result is a culture that supports innovation and reinforces long-term growth from within.

    Looking ahead, 3i Solutions plans to expand production capabilities, invest in facility upgrades and continue scaling its team with individuals who bring drive, technical skill and ingenuity. The company also plans to remain at the forefront of nanoemulsion formulation, helping brands deliver more effective, accessible and trustworthy wellness products backed by rigorous science.
