Fenchem Increases U.S. Sales by 10 Percent

CHINO, Calif.—Fenchem announced it achieved a 10 percent sales increase in the U.S. market for the first six months of 2008, compared to the same period in 2007. According to the company, the increase can be attributed to a quicker response time and faster delivery, competitive pricing, and increased focus on developing and producing functional food ingredients for food manufacturers.

The company’s U.S. branch office in Chino, Calif., consists of a large warehouse space, which enables adequate inventory storage to provide prompt delivery; customers can expect receipt of shipment within two to three days of order placement. On the ingredient side, Fenchem has been focusing on promoting ingredients such as prebiotic inulin (In-fibre™); natural antioxidants TOCOVET® natural vitamin E, G-Tea™ green tea extract, Grapurit™ grape seed extract and Pomgreat™ pomegranate extract; and two prime grade phytosterols, Cholevel® phytosterol granular and nano phytosterol.

To accommodate the growth, Fenchem is expanding its production capacities at its China factory. The facility will focus on the production of TOCOVET and Cholevel.
