Montvale, New Jersey, (22 February, 2024) – Balchem®, a global manufacturer of specialty ingredients for human nutrition and health (HNH), and leading US supplement ingredient distributor Stauber Performance Ingredients, jointly announce a new distribution partnership in the USA and Canada. Building on their longstanding relationship, Balchem has recently appointed the distributor as the Preferred Supplier for its Albion® Minerals, OptiMSM®, VitaCholine® and VitaShure® brands.
The synergistic collaboration is poised to provide added value through a deep understanding of the market needs and an extensive knowledge of blends, while also enabling both companies to meet the demand for additional support and customized solutions.
