BLAUVELT, N.Y.–RFI Ingredients acquired the Graymor Chemical Company, a global bulk supplier of nutraceutical, pharmaceutical and vitamin ingredients, and hired Graymor’s director of national sales, Malcolm Greenberg, as RFI’s commodity sales manager to facilitate the merging of the two businesses.
RFI expects Greenberg’s experience with Graymor’s global raw material procurement, marketing expertise and customer relationships will help RFI and Graymor during the transition and will also help RFI’s customers benefit from the newly integrated product portfolio.
“Graymor’s product range is the perfect complement to our current ingredient platform," said Jeff Wuagneux, RFI’s president and CEO, “and with the addition of Malcolm to our team, we are now in a great position to strengthen RFI’s vertically-integrated business model. Incorporating Graymor’s product line into the existing RFI portfolio will further expand RFI’s ability to control raw materials, thus growing the RFI platform while maintaining complete vertical integration. The assimilation of Graymor’s product line will contribute significantly to our turnkey manufacturing capabilities, resulting in improved cost-effectiveness and better lead times," he said.
For more than 45 years, Graymor has supplied the dietary supplement and pharmaceutical industries with high-quality ingredients as well as provided technical support and regulatory assistance. Graymor is headquartered in Union, NJ, with an Asian office in Shanghai, China.
RFI develops and markets natural, organic and science-driven ingredients; formulas; and finished products for the dietary supplement, food and beverage industries. The vertically-integrated company was formed in 1989. RFI recently expanded by opening an office in the UK.
