ATLANTA, March 13, 2008 – Huber Engineered Materials (HEM), part of J.M. Huber Corporation, will showcase its dietary supplement processing capabilities at this year’s SupplySide East (SSE) trade show (booth #1213, April 28-30, 2008, Meadowlands Exposition Center, Secaucus, N.J.).
Huber’s emphasis on dietary supplements will allow full utilization of its Modesto, Calif., operation, which is a cGMP compliant facility purchased in 2006 and is a key component of the company’s Health and Nutrition Strategic Business Unit (SBU). Processing capabilities to be highlighted at the show include fluid bed granulation, blending and packaging for a variety of vitamins, minerals and specialty products.
“We’re currently consolidating our Benicia (Calif.) manufacturing assets to our facility in Modesto, and we’re very excited about the state-of-the-art technology and footprint in Modesto and the opportunities that are ahead,” says Mike Tarquini, Ph.D., business development director of Huber’s Health and Nutrition Unit. “The dietary supplements market is a key focus, as we see a tremendous growth opportunity with our manufacturing capabilities, quality assurance and outstanding customer service. In addition to our focus on processed nutritional ingredients, we offer custom processing of ingredients or development of the complete formula at our Modesto facility.”
In addition to featuring the dietary supplement processing capabilities of the Modesto facility, Huber also plans to focus at SupplySide East on HuberCal® calcium carbonate, which is used as the base material in many dietary supplements and antacids. HuberCal is available in naturally mined and oyster shell forms for the food, nutrition and pharmaceutical markets.
