Ingredient supplier OmniActive Health Technologies has opened its new manufacturing plant in Hosur, India, in order to help fulfill the increased demand for its ingredients and redefine its manufacturing standards.
 
"This plant represents just one facet of OmniActive's commitment to guaranteeing an uninterrupted supply of high-quality products for our esteemed customers," said Sanjaya Mariwala, chairman and managing director of OmniActive. "True to our legacy, we take immense pride in being the trusted and dependable partner our customers rely on, so we are excited to bring new economic development with this updated facility."
 
The 17,000-square-foot facility took ten months to complete, and includes high-volume extractors with varied capacities and advanced spray dryers. The facility is more automated, allowing for enclosed material transfer handling for strict quality control.
 
The facility will feature a water treatment facility and steam-generating boiler fueled by sustainable sources, the company reports.
 
This investment comes after the company recently launched one lutein plant in Hosur and two others in Pune, for the vertically-integrated supply chain of the Lutemax portfolio of ingredients.
 
"Our industry, much like many others, grapples with the ongoing challenge of meeting skyrocketing consumer demands, whether from customers, internal stakeholders, or government officials," said Chaitanya Desai, chief operating officer. "By continuously updating and expanding our facilities, we proactively address the ever-evolving market and our global commitment to social and environmental needs. And, with this new building, we will be able to add to our workforce and welcome even more OmniActive employees to our company as we continue to grow."
