Ingredient supplier Lycored, which specializes in lycopene and carotenoids, has launched a processing facility in Branchburg, NJ for its carotenoids, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and real food ingredients.
The new plant enables the company to maximize the purity, efficacy, and shelf-stability of its ingredients while exponentially increasing output capacity. It provides advanced capabilities for milling, blending, drying, and coating, with extensive opportunities for customization.
The site also features an application lab and color production line which creates additional capacity and more convenient localized support in the U.S. for taste and coloration applications and development. As part of the launch, Lycored has created a microsite along with a “virtual VIP tour” video, developed alongside motion expert Adam Rubin and creative director Matt Bierce. It provides an educational and entertaining look around the new facilities.
“Our Branchburg facility boasts formidable milling and blending proficiency with state-of-the-art technology. It allows us to optimize nutrient efficacy and bioavailability while providing innovative formulations perfectly tailored to our customers’ requirements,” Shirley Cohen, CEO at Lycored, said. “When you prioritize quality at every step of the journey, all health breaks loose.”
The new facility is FDA-registered, cGMP-compliant, and NSF-certified. It is allergen-free, with temperature and humidity controlled environments.
Sustainability measures are also in place at the new facility, including a reduced reliance on energy and transportation, AI-powered planting and harvesting systems, and single-solvent tomato oleoresin extraction that reduces water use.
“For more than a quarter of a century, we’ve been inspired to find new ways to make the most of natural nutrients for supplements and blends,” Cohen said. “We’ve learned a lot along the way, reinventing and streamlining countless processes to maximize wellness and minimize waste. We’re now excited to share the fruits of that journey in our brand-new, state-of-the-art custom production facility.”
