Huber Engineered Materials To Focus On Calcium Expertise, Latest Excipients At Supply Side East Trade Show
ATLANTA, GA., March 22, 2005 — Huber Engineered Materials (Huber), part of J.M. Huber Corporation, will announce its new approach to supplements and dietary aids at this year’s Supply Side East (SSE) trade show in May (booth # 1413, May 4-6, 2005, Baltimore Convention Center, Baltimore, Md.).
According to company officials, adding new technology and thinking to popular oral dosage forms will drive this year’s presence at the show.
Expertise in Calcium Supplements
Huber Engineered Materials is well known, among the attendees of SSE, as a supplier of compressible and powder forms of highly pure calcium carbonate in naturally mined and oyster shell grades. The company’s flagship product, HuberCal® calcium carbonate, is used in many tablet forms of supplements and dietary aids.
“Confidence is a key driver in choosing the right ingredient for supplements,” said Michael Carpenter, business segment leader excipients and nutrition. “Our exacting manufacturing facilities and natural sources of calcium carbonate ensure consistency, purity and versatility when developing a formulation that requires calcium carbonate.”
At the show Huber officials will also discuss a branch of the business solely dedicated to commercialization of excipients that may offer increased functionality for tablet makers.
Functional Excipients Drive New Business
By adding the strength of the company’s excipients resources and looking at supplements in the context of closely regulated cGMP and pharmaceutical tableting, Huber looks to expand its opportunities within the supplement marketplace.
Led by its fast dissolve advancement, RxCIPIENTS® FM1000 calcium silicate, Huber is working with customers on faster and more convenient dosage delivery.
In addition, the company’s recently branded RxCIPIENTS GL series glidants offer tablet manufacturers a cost-effective means for increasing tablet uniformity and mass flow characteristics while increasing machinery through-put and efficiency.
