Sabinsa, a manufacturer, supplier and marketer of herbal extracts, cosmeceuticals, minerals, dietary supplements and specialty fine chemicals for the nutritional, cosmetic, pharmaceutical and food industries, has begun construction on a new continuous extraction facility that will increase production capacity by 200%.
"While we are primarily known for investing heavily in science and IP, we clearly also invest in insuring a sustainable supply of our proprietary ingredients to the marketplace," said Sabinsa's founder, Dr. Muhammed Majeed. “Our farm cultivation program was the first part of the sustainability endeavour, and this expansion is part two."
The earth breaking ceremony for the US$5 million 75,000 square foot expansion project at Dobaspet, India was the first step in creating a manufacturing plant that will feature a 25 MT per day capacity continuous extractor, a 15,000 square foot down stream facility, a microbiology lab and a 45,000 square foot warehouse. The facility is expected to complete in mid-2014.
