Solutex, Booth: K133, Vitafoods Europe, Geneva, Switzerland, May 14-16, 2024
Solutex, pioneer in omega-3 extraction technologies and leading supplier to the global nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and cosmetics industries, is set to showcase at Vitafoods Europe 2024 its newly expanded production capacity, backed by seismic developments in omega-3 extraction and processing technology. As the company celebrates its twentieth anniversary, it invites attendees to explore the past, present and future of concentrated omega-3 ingredients and Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs), as well as its continued commitment to progress through cutting-edge science and sustainable production.
Setting new standards in omega-3 extraction and purity
At the show, Solutex will highlight its newly acquired capacity to process crude oil alongside its core portfolio of premium-quality EPA (eicosapentaenoic acid) + DHA (docosahexaenoic acid) concentrates – including the industry’s highest-purity 97% EPA-, and their derivatives Specialized Pro-resolving Mediators (SPMs). Following a four-year expansion project at its FDA CGMP-certified facility in Mallén, Spain, the company is now able to process 20,000 metric tons of crude fish oil per year.
This current round of major investment establishes Solutex as the premier provider of versatile, pharmaceutical-grade omega-3s from a wide range of raw materials (including fish and algae), at a time of increasing demand for such ingredients in the nutraceuticals sector. At Vitafoods Europe 2024, the company will demonstrate its dual capacity for increased production volumes and greater flexibility to support the growth of the consumer health, supplements and pharmaceutical markets.
20 years of revolutionary science supporting renewed progress
In addition to its expanded production capabilities, Solutex is also set to celebrate two decades of advancing the science of omega-3 extraction at this year’s Vitafoods event. Attendees are invited to join the Solutex team at booth K133, May 14, 2024, at 5pm for a cocktail reception celebrating the company’s 20 years at the forefront of omega-3 science – and its latest leap forward with a new product launch.
“Almost exactly 20 years ago, my wife Verónica Olaya and I founded Solutex on the fundamental principles of scientific excellence, technology-driven progress and complete respect for the natural world,” comments Dr. Fernando Moreno, owner and CEO of Solutex.
“It all began with our revolutionary use of CO2 supercritical technology to separate EPA and DHA from fish oil matrices and concentrate it to a level never seen before in the industry. We have always been proud to say that our revolutionary production process is not only effective, but environmentally sound – generating virtually no waste.”
He continues, “As true visionaries we have never stood still, constantly learning and expanding to offer our customers the very best solutions that harness nature carefully and respectfully. As pioneers of SPMs with a strong patent portfolio, when looking to the future of Solutex, we see ourselves playing a critical role in the development of further SPM ingredients as nutraceutical and pharmaceutical players realize their potential to combat inflammation and support health more widely. Our honored friends and colleagues from across the industry are welcomed to discover our next groundbreaking innovations as they are launched at Vitafoods Europe 2024 and raise a toast to another 20 years of incredible discoveries.”
