Probiotic ingredient producer Ganeden expands global footprint

US-based probiotic ingredient producer and distributor Ganeden is expanding its presence in the global market with new partnerships and product launches.

Ganeden’s probiotic ingredient GanedenBC30 is used in more than 500 probiotic food and beverages.

As part of its global expansion plan, the Ohio-based company has recently signed contracts with many companies operating in countries, including Bangladesh, China, India, Japan, Korea, Malaysia, Singapore, Taiwan, Thailand, the Philippines and Vietnam.

It is also working with a distributor to support the company’s growth in the Middle East.

Ganeden’s probiotic ingredient products are currently shipped to approximately 58 countries.

The company has also expanded its team of international sales managers with new staff being added in Mexico, China and Thailand.

Ganeden international business development and regulatory manager Stephen Quinn said: "At Ganeden, we place an immense amount of value on quality service and pride ourselves on the strong relationships we build with our partners, both important factors to maintain when expanding our international business.

"We understand the importance of face-to-face contact and the recent international product launches have shown the immediate return we receive from our localised approach."

Ganeden holds more than 100 patents for probiotic technologies in the food, beverage, animal health, sports nutrition and personal care ingredients markets.
