OUR MISSION<\/h1>\n[\/spb_parallax] [fullwidth_text alt_background=”none” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Nehemiah was founded in 2009 with the mission to build brands, create jobs, and change lives.<\/h2>\n

We are led by a team of seasoned CPG executives with a proven track record of success, who share a passion for making a positive impact in our community. Nehemiah partners with companies and entrepreneurs to license\/acquire small brands, innovate new product concepts and contract manufacture products.<\/p>\n

Nehemiah is committed to bringing manufacturing jobs back to the inner city of Cincinnati to stimulate community development and economic growth. We worked closely with the City of Cincinnati, community leaders and social service organizations to select our location in the West End \/ Over-The-Rhine area of Cincinnati. Our location is surrounded by neighborhoods with high unemployment and limited entry-level job opportunities.\u00a0\u00a0 We team with a number of local social service agencies in close proximity to our location, including CityLink, St. Vincent DePaul, Jobs Plus and City Gospel Mission to identify and develop team members.<\/p>\n

Nehemiah is led by CEO, Dan Meyer. Dan has over 30 years of consumer packaged goods experience and has held senior management positions with large, multi-national companies and, over the past 17 years, co-founded two start-up, entrepreneurial companies.<\/p>\n

SECOND CHANCE STORIES<\/h3>\n

Many employees who come to Nehemiah Manufacturing just need a chance to prove themselves. They may show up with a spotty work history \u2013 or no work history \u2013 or a record blemished in some way. These hard-to-hire candidates are invisible to most companies. But not to us. Because we know giving people a chance is the right thing to do.<\/p>\n

The rewards over the past five years have been amazing. In this group, we find rare diamonds \u2013 some of the hardest working people we\u2019ve ever seen. In proving themselves, these employees become fiercely loyal \u2013 insistent on high quality; positive teamers who help each other; hard chargers who self-sacrifice for the success of all. Sound like family? It is.<\/p>\n

Take a look at some of our Second Chance Stories. We\u2019re including them here to inspire other companies who share the heart of this mission to have the courage to live it out. You\u2019ll read stories of dreams recovered. Families reunited. Hope restored. Stories of quiet heroic virtue that will restore your faith in what\u2019s humanly possible.<\/p>\n[\/fullwidth_text] [portfolio display_type=”gallery” columns=”4″ show_title=”yes” show_subtitle=”yes” show_excerpt=”no” hover_show_excerpt=”no” excerpt_length=”20″ item_count=”12″ category=”second-chance-stories” portfolio_filter=”no” pagination=”no” el_class=”success-stories” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_parallax parallax_type=”image” bg_image=”198″ bg_type=”cover” parallax_video_height=”content-height” parallax_video_overlay=”none” parallax_image_height=”content-height” parallax_image_movement=”stellar” parallax_image_speed=”0.5″ padding_horizontal=”15″ alt_background=”none” el_class=”bt0 bb0 mt0 mb0 no-shadow” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Building Brands… Creating Jobs… Changing Lives…<\/h2>\n[\/fullwidth_text] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”first”]\n

Building Brands\u2026<\/strong> Nehemiah\u2019s team has deep expertise in consumer packaged goods. Based upon a proven track record within the leadership team at Nehemiah, Procter & Gamble awarded Nehemiah the license to manage the Pampers Kandoo line of toddler products in 2009, helping launch our growth. \u00a0Nehemiah continues to work with P&G and other companies to license\/acquire brands and launch new product concepts.\u00a0 We design, manufacture, market and sell brands in a variety of product categories (See Our Brands).<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″]\n

Creating Jobs\u2026<\/strong> Nehemiah is focused on creating job opportunities for individuals in the inner-city of Cincinnati. By growing our brands and serving others, we are creating a variety of job opportunities for those individuals who have challenges finding employment. \u00a0Nehemiah teams with local social service agencies who serve individuals with criminal records, gaps in employment, and other barriers to finding meaningful work.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/3″ el_position=”last”]\n

Changing Lives\u2026<\/strong> Nehemiah employees are part of our family.\u00a0 We promote a positive work environment and provide whole life coaching to help improve employees\u2019 lives.\u00a0 Through our on-site social worker, company grill outs, Christmas with Santa and other Nehemiah functions, we work to create an atmosphere where employees can succeed and grow.<\/p>\n[\/spb_text_block] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n

Why Nehemiah?<\/h3>\n
\n

Nehemiah\u00a0was a prophet in the Old Testament who was called by God to bring safety, commerce and community back to the city of Jerusalem. Nehemiah was a great leader who cared for his people and rallied the inhabitants of Jerusalem to rebuild the walls to protect their city. Like Nehemiah, we feel called to rebuild the city by giving people jobs and a renewed hope for the future.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n[\/spb_text_block] [blank_spacer height=”30px” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”] [spb_text_block pb_margin_bottom=”no” pb_border_bottom=”no” width=”1\/1″ el_position=”first last”]\n
