CSB Nutrition Corporation was founded by Craig Shields, Al Call, and Jeff Bancroft in 2001.  CSB is a contract manufacturer of nutritional supplements.  They started with four employees and now have over 150 full-time employees and 60+ temporary employees working on a daily basis.  CSB is located in Spanish Fork, in the former RR Donnelley building that they purchased in December of 2011.  CSB is a leading manufacturer in the industry and has been blessed to be located in Utah, where many companies in the nutrition industry reside. They enjoy a great workforce to draw from in Utah County. This combination has allowed CSB to grow their business substantially over the years. They look forward to increased growth in the future.  

In addition to manufacturing, CSB provides research and development support as well as having an ISO certified Chemistry and Micro lab in house.  CSB has many industry recognized certifications such as NSF Sports certification, Organic, Kosher, Halal, and a Canadian site license.  CSB has clients that span the globe and in every market and segment in the industry.  CSB continues to invest heavily to assure not only future growth but to keep up with a rapidly changing market. 

Craig said, “I currently have the pleasure of serving on the Nebo Education Foundation Board, which allows me the opportunity to give something back to our community and understand the difficulties that teachers face in being able to provide the needed resources to their students.”  

Craig graduated from the U of U in Economics. He has worked professionally ever since in the Dietary Supplement Industry.
