Ingredient marketing firm SourceOne Global Partners is to distribute chondroitin sulfate, supplied by China's biggest supplier Yantai Kangde Biochemical Products, exclusively to the US market.
Kangde was China's first chondroitin supplier and uses single facility production and in-house analysis and testing, as well as independent labs to ensure consistency and quality.
The company has a new GMP-certified facility to meet increased customer demand, located in Haiyang City, Shandong province. The plant contains a production facility, research and development department, a state-of-the-art laboratory and financial affairs and sales departments.
Jiang Zhong-Li, chairman and president of Kangde, said he hoped SourceOne would build brand awareness in the US. The Chinese firm will produce chondroitin in one facility for SourceOne partners' individual needs.
Chicago-headquartered SourceOne Global Partners focuses on sourcing patented, science-backed ingredients for manufacturing clients with strong branding.
