Vitablend develops and produces custom-made fortification and protection
solutions for a wide range of applications. We advise and support our customers
on the enrichment of special food products and extension of shelf life. Our
extensive experience and knowledge in these areas make Vitablend the ultimate
partner for the development of new or renewed solutions.
Vitablend has a strong emphasis in the
infant formulae, clinical nutrition, sports
nutrition, beverages and dairy products.
Knowledge of global market develop-
ments, product innovations, permitted
claims, food production processes, inter-
action of ingredients, legislation and
quality requirements enable us to deve-
lop, test and produce the most effective
custom made antioxidants and pre-
mixes. That’s why we are The Centre Of
Excellence in fortification and protection.
Global network and expertise
Vitablend is a flexible and ambitious
young organisation founded in 2001. Our
continuously expanding network of local
sales offices and production facilities in
Europe and Asia enable us to serve the
Global Market and to connect you with
appropriate partners. In 2008 Vitablend
joined Barentz Europe B.V., a Pan-
European food ingredient supplier and
distributor founded in 1953. Cooperation
with Barentz broadens our entrance to
a huge worldwide network of ingredient
suppliers and intensifies our insights in
the relevant markets, production proces-
ses and legislation.
We are able to customise our production
within a high quality environment that
exceeds the demanding industry and its
criteria determined by the extreme vul-
nerability of specific consumers.
Your fortification& protection partner
” You know what you want to achieve; we know how to get there.”
Offering tailor-made solutionsBased on in-depth knowledge and experience, Vitablend will always develop
the most appropriate blend for you to fortify or protect your products;
premixes to fortify products and antioxidant blends to extend shelf lives.
Vitablend’s formulation design compe-
tence lies in understanding production
processes and selecting the right ingre-
dients. Vitablend has extensive
experience in finding synergy between
selected ingredients so we can offer
a wide range of effective, custom-
made blends with specific performance
requirements.
For each application we bring solutions
Fortifying food products means wor-
king with a variety of ingredients. Using
balanced premixes instead of single
ingredients simplifies production proces-
ses, offers consistent quality and reduces
stock handling costs. The starting point
of all fortification premix developments
are the nutritional claims that have to
be met after referring to local food legis-
lation requirements. Our network of
approved raw materials suppliers enables
us to select the most appropriate vita-
min, mineral, nucleotide and amino-acid
ingredients for premix design giving due
consideration to organoleptic qualities,
production process, packaging and shelf
life. Premixes and ingredients are tested
in our internal analytical laboratory
to assure that they supply the correct
balance of nutrients and meet internatio-
nally recognized purity criteria.
Our easy to use antioxidant blends that
enhance the shelf life of foods are desig-
ned in a similar way with additional
support from our Application Laboratory
to demonstrate efficacy of any given
blend by running accelerated shelf life
and performance benchmarking studies.
” It’s all about having the right blend based on your specific product.”

Quality is a rule of lifeProduction of food, especially baby food and clinical nutrition products has to
meet stringent quality standards. These demanding standards obviously apply
to all of our products. We have fully integrated these standards within our
production process and keep them updated continuously.
We produce blends that are used in pro-
ducts for very vulnerable people such as
young babies and people suffering from
diseases. This makes our production
process very delicate and requires imple-
mentation of quality standards to the
finest of details. Our hygiene zoned pro-
duction environment and robust operating
procedures guarantee efficacious, safe and
legal products.
