LycoRed Move Expands US Operation

29/08/06 LycoRed Corp. has announced the move of its U.S. headquarters to Orange, NJ, the site of the former H. Reisman company. The Orange facility gives LycoRed the ability to provide full-service to its North American customers with a U.S. based manufacturing facility and technical support team. LycoRed’s North American staff is expert at incorporating high-value ingredients into a wide range of food applications and dietary supplements.

The new facility specializes in manufacturing beadlets, triturations, carotenoid formulations and nutrient premixes, thereby expanding LycoRed's product portfolio. LycoRed's beadlet technology is used to stabilize sensitive ingredients, such as carotenoids and vitamin D, protecting them from oxidation. Triturations provide uniform distribution of trace nutrients that have very low RDA's. Nutrient premixes that reduce overages and improve manufacturing efficiency are designed based upon years of global formulation experience. LycoRed's North American customers will benefit from their extensive know-how combined with attentive local service.

“This has been a year of expansion for LycoRed, including multiple acquisitions and integration of the new products and technologies." states Leo Cullen, President of LycoRed Corp. "This latest acquisition of H. Reisman gives us the U.S. facility and resources we need to further LycoRed’s commitment to provide all-natural carotenoid solutions to our customers around the globe."

LycoRed's facility in Orange will serve as the regional technical support and customer service center. The manufacturing facility is FDA inspected, cGMP compliant and supported by a complete analytical laboratory. The technical service team includes regulatory experts and experienced R&D staff for new product development and formulation.

LycoRed is a fast-growing nutritional ingredient company with regional offices in the US, Europe and Israel. LycoRed’s strategy calls for building a portfolio of high value carotenoid brands, natural food colorants and effective fortification technologies. LycoRed’s nutrition solutions simplify the development and production process of cutting-edge food, beverage and nutritional supplement products, responding to consumer demand for healthier foods.
