Stratum Nutrition gets dedicated R&D space

New R&D labs for Stratum Nutrition will allow the company to expand its product offering to include new technologies, as well as consolidating its existing food and dietary supplements applications.

Stratum’s parent company Novus Nutrition Brands, LLC, announced the lease for the dedicated lab space at Bio-Research & Development Growth (BRDG “bridge”) Park at the Danforth Plant Science Center in Missouri.

“The presence of these labs within the BRDG Park allows us to strengthen our relationship with Danforth Plant Science Center and other companies that have a common interest in addressing the world food challenges,” said Ibrahim Abou-Nemeh, director R&D, product discovery for Novus International.

“We are extremely pleased with Novus International's decision to locate the labs for its Stratum Nutrition and Arenus divisions at BRDG Park,” said Sam Fiorello, president of BRDG Park. “In addition to being part of one of the leading companies in the world in providing solutions and technologies for agriculture, these divisions will add important depth and breadth to our tenant mix in the animal and human health and nutrition categories.”

The lease also includes lab space for Stratum’s sister division, Arenus, a specialist manufacturer of health products and supplements for horses and dogs.
