A Sussex vitamins and food supplement firm is investing more than £1 million in a restructuring and expansion programme.
Most of the spend will go on new machinery.
G&G Food Supplies, of East Grinstead, has also appointed three new directors as it splits off its own label products into a separate division.
A spokesman for G&G said the separation of the divisions would allow for greater efficiency.
Joining the board as executive directors are Kathy Windle and Sue Wear while Hans Lanik becomes a non-executive director.
G&G is fighting EU proposals to restrict the sales of food supplements.
Managing director, Jeremy Stephens, said: "These proposals could have a severe effect on us by reducing our product range.
"They will not put us out of business but mean that many health food stores will lose a major part of their trade.
"Without the vitamins, minerals and herbs that are likely to be banned for no good reason, they may find it hard to make a living.
"We are 100 per cent behind the intention to improve consumer safety, but these proposals would stop people buying the supplements they want without increasing safety."
Community relations manager John Prigent said: "We will continue to lobby against the proposals and urge everybody who is concerned at the potential loss of the supplements to write to their MPs and MEPs."
G&G has enlisted a number of MEPs, including John Bowis, Chris Huhne, Caroline Lucas and Nigel Farage, in its quest to stop the legislation.
