Z Trim Expands Production of Multifunctional Fiber Ingredients to Meet Demand
The sales increase reflects demand from diverse manufacturers seeking the broad range of product attributes that characterize the Z Trim product line, especially as a nutritional and quality value-added alternative to higher priced ingredients.
24/09/08 Encouraged by sales growth of its multifunctional fiber ingredients in consecutive quarters, Z Trim Holdings, Inc., announced that it will increase production, and will convert approximately 10,000 square feet of space adjacent to its plant in Mundelein, Illinois for inventory storage.
The sales increase reflects demand from diverse manufacturers seeking the broad range of product attributes that characterize the Z Trim product line, especially as a nutritional and quality value-added alternative to higher priced ingredients.
"The demand is coming from manufacturers across food categories," said President and CEO Steve Cohen. "In particular we've expanded our reach into frozen foods, dry mixes, and baked foods."
The increased demand is also due to the revitalized approach to the food industry begun late last year with a change in leadership.
"We committed ourselves to becoming a solutions provider to the food industry, bundling our expertise with the sale of our ingredients," Cohen said. "We tightened our belts and sharpened our focus, and we continue to do so, spending only where it benefits our customers and increases our foothold in the market."
"Sales from the 1st, 2nd, and 3rd quarters show consecutive growth," Cohen said. "The orders we've taken for 4th quarter delivery thus far indicate a continuation of that trend. We are ramping up our manufacturing and warehousing capabilities to accommodate our anticipated growth."
