Who we are …
We founded 2161, LLC in 2017 with a clear purpose: to provide natural, high-quality health and wellness products that empower individuals—particularly our fellow veterans, active-duty service members, and other public service professionals. As a Service-Disabled Veteran-Owned Small Business (SDVOSB) based in Norwood, North Carolina, we bring a military-inspired commitment to teamwork, precision, and reliability to everything we do.
About Us …
Why “2161”?
The name “2161” comes from our founder’s background as a U.S. Marine Corps Machinist (MOS 2161). In the field, a machinist transforms raw metal into carefully refined parts. We apply the same principle to product formulation: we take the finest raw, natural ingredients and refine them into innovative, effective wellness solutions. It’s this blend of precision, craftsmanship, and attention to detail that sets us apart.
Mission & Values
Mission Statement:
At 2161, we develop and manufacture innovative, natural products that empower individuals—especially military service members and public service professionals—to achieve optimal wellness. Guided by integrity, sustainability, and a spirit of innovation, we source responsibly, formulate expertly, and deliver solutions that truly make a difference.
Core Values:
Integrity – We stand by our word and our work, always putting quality and ethics first.
Sustainability – We responsibly source ingredients and prioritize carbon-neutral, regenerative practices to protect our planet.
Innovation – We continually seek cutting-edge formulations, delivery methods, and manufacturing techniques to meet evolving market needs.
Our Culture
We’ve built a close-knit team guided by the ethos of caring for our own, just like in the service. Our hiring practices give preference to veterans and their families, and we prioritize partnerships that positively impact veteran and public service communities. We believe that when we fight together, we win together—and that extends to the clients and subcontractors we choose to work with.
