Euromed, Presto, PA has earned the stature of being a Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP) facility as registered by NSF International. This assures all of Euromed’s customers, natural health supplement manufacturers and cosmetic companies, that each and every botanical extract they get from Euromed is safe, efficacious, and produced to the highest quality standards. Additionally, Euromed was also awarded “Green” 14001 Certification from ISO, the International Standardization Organization. This award demonstrates Euromed’s dedication to establishing and maintaining sustainable and environmentally friendly manufacturing processes.
GMP registration verifies that Euromed has the proper methods, equipment, facilities, and controls all in place for producing dietary supplement products. The NSF GMPs were developed in accordance with the U.S. Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA) 21 CFR Part 111 Regulation on dietary supplement manufacturing, packaging, and distribution. Utilizing GMP guidelines assists companies in developing and maintaining proper controls in their manufacturing process so that products are processed, manufactured and labeled in a consistent manner, and meet quality standards.
Euromed took five years to implement these key changes by re-engineering their facility to meet the ISO criteria. These initiatives included major recycling of biomass—most notably the company’s flagship extract, milk thistle, whereby the post-extraction residue is used for animal feed due to its high nutrient content. Other measures taken include having all wood pallets become compost, and cleaner air & water, and recycling printer toners, and much more.
“We’re excited about this certification because it verifies that we’re one of the world’s leaders in environmentally friendly production,” stated Joe Veilleux, CEO of Euromed USA. “That’s very important to us -- we rely on plants, the Earth’s natural, renewable resources, not only for our business but for our personal health.”
