Fenchem sales grow on increased US demand
Jun 16, 2008

Chinese ingredients firm Fenchem has said its US sales have gone up by 10 percent over the past six month, an increase the company puts down to opening a new office in the country.

According to the company, another reason for its increased half-year sales is its focus on the development of ingredients specifically targeting the US functional foods market.

On the opening of its news office in Chino, California, last year, Fenchem had said it was aiming to double its US turnover over the next three years.

Stock and shipment

"The new office establishment can guarantee we have a large warehouse system in USA, which will make our product price more competitive and the products will reach cutomers' warehouse within two to three days in the whole North American area," the company's Junny Liu told NutraIngredients-USA.com at the time.

Fenchem now says that this quick response time is delivering results, and says it is also partly responsible for the increased first half sales.

The firm says that since it opened its US branch it is able to provide customers with shipment within 2-3 days of order placement.

Functional ingredients

Fenchem said it is focusing on the development and marketing functional ingredients such as prebiotic inulin, natural antioxidants, natural vitamin E, green tea extract, grape seed extract and pomegranate extract.

The firm also said it has focused efforts on the development of a "prime grade" phytosterol product series. Two of its new products are granular phytosterol - designed for tablet use - and nano phytosterol, which the firm said has "good solubility" and is designed for use in food applications.
