Strategic decision to push into liquids
Most recently, GMP Labs made the strategic decision to make a big push into liquids. “It’s just a matter of keeping up with growing demand. We’ve always made a point of being a one-stop resource for our clients, and the industry trend is now moving toward liquids. There are perfectly good reasons for the growing consumer preference for liquid packaging,” explains Suhail Ishaq, President of GMP Labs.
As the company moves forward, they are adamant about maintaining their high manufacturing standards and practices, a point proudly embedded in the corporate name (Good Manufacturing Practices). GMP Labs’ new high-speed production-scale facility is fully equipped to handle a wide range of cold fill liquid products, including: liquid dietary supplements, syrups, oral powder and liquid suspensions, various nutrient enhanced vitamin water, oxygenated water, ready-to-drink (RTD) beverages, liquid shots, liquid shooters, energy drinks, joint juice, vitamin and mineral supplements, amino acid supplements, colloidal mineral suspensions, antioxidant berry juice blends, omega 3 oils and essential oils.
At this year’s Natural Products Expo West 2010, GMP Labs launched its newest addition to its product line. “The expanded packaging operations include high-speed bottling in size ranges from 30 to 1000 ml and single serving liquid pouches and stick packs. Various water purification and enhancement technologies are utilized in the new facility, including a seven-step reverse osmosis process, UV sterilization and de-ionization processes that produce high quality ultra-pure water at near USP specification,” tells Ishaq.
