Canada-based Lallemand Health Solutions announced the acquisition of Dietary Pros Inc. from its founder and CEO Dennis Drager.
“We are proud to be the new owners of Dietary Pros, a company that has a well-established position as a full-service contract manufacturer, specialising in the formulation and supply of probiotic solutions to its customers in the supplement and nutraceutical sectors. Over the past 12 years, Dietary Pros has built a successful reputation in providing custom formulations of probiotics, a wide range of supplements, and unique customer service to its partners,” announces Jérôme Panes, President and General Manager at Lallemand Health Solutions.
Lallemand Health Solutions is renowned as a vertically integrated global leader in the probiotic industry, boasting significant growth through its manufacturing, scientific and regulatory assets. This acquisition brings together two complementary forces that will as priorities, continue to respond to customer needs and simultaneously help their growth with their respective strengths.
“To have a US-based manufacturing facility adds flexibility to our day-to-day operations and expands our production capacity. The benefits are numerous, ranging from extending our supplement offerings beyond probiotics to growing our customer portfolio. We will now offer a full range of products within the same facility, featuring multiple combinations of ingredients with flexible operations,” explains Isabelle Champié, Vice-President of Sales and Marketing at Lallemand Health Solutions.
“Dietary Pros will continue to operate as a ‘stand-alone’ independent contract manufacturer, servicing its current and prospective customers as well as manufacturing for Lallemand Health Solutions. “All our employees remain in the company,” ensures Dennis Draeger, founder and CEO of Dietary Pros – who will continue with his current functions.
