The French manufacturer Laboratoire PYC continues to grow in the European food supplements segment. At Vitafoods Europe Stand M169 in the French Pavilion, the company will be showcasing new food supplement formulas. In May will also be the inauguration of its industrial site, which has been completely redesigned to support its growth.
Discovery box of 10 food supplements
At Vitafoods, Laboratoire PYC will showcase 10 food supplement con-cepts in a recyclable box. Each form-ula addresses a key promise of the food supplement market: sleep, stress, vitality, immunity, circulation, digestion, weight-management and nutricosmetics. These 10 food supple-ment formulas come in the form of powders packaged in stick-packs. 8 formulas are intended to be rehydrated and 2 formulas are orodispersible.
These formulas are ready for sale. Laboratoire PYC also develops tailor-made food supplements. The contract-manufacturer supports brands in the production of their food supplements, from ingredient sourcing to packaging.
“For this 2024 edition of Vitafoods, Laboratoire PYC has chosen to focus on innovative formulas, French origin, naturalness and pleasure”, explains Aurélie DE SCHUYTENEER, Marketing and Communications Manager. “Each concept in the box is supported by clinical studies, and all the formulas are clean label. In addition, we monitor market trends and keep a close eye on ingredients to offer the most up-to-date and innovative formulas possible. On the flavor side, our R&D teams worked for several months to select new natural flavors and create pleasant combinations of fruit and floral notes. One of the strengths of Laboratoire PYC lies in formulating food supplements that are very pleasant to consume. All our formulas are developed in our laboratory in Aix-en-Provence and manufactured in the French department of Ain.”
New nutricosmetic concepts to taste
The company is also the first French contract-manufacturer to have developed a complete range of nutricosmetics. “Our first nutricosmetic formula was developed in 2009. Laboratoire PYC is celebrating 15 years in this sphere. Since then, we have developed a complete, specific range for the skin and hair,” says Aurélie DE SCHUYTENEER.
To celebrate the occasion, the COLLAGEN BEAUTY BOOSTER® nutricosmetic formula will be available for free tasting at the TASTING BAR at Vitafoods. This area is dedicated to discovering the latest developments in the nutraceuticals sector. The French collagen-based formula has been specifically developed for the event. Laboratoire PYC‘s R&D teams have created a fresh, fruity taste with natural strawberry and elderflower flavors. Strawberry is one of the TOP 3 most popular and growing flavors in beauty supplements worldwide. The formula benefits from clinical studies on hydration, elasticity and wrinkles. Its composition is clean label.
Laboratoire PYC‘s Manziat plant in the Ain region has undergone a complete makeover! After 18 months of work, the company will inaugurate its new production site at the end of May. It has been completely redesigned to meet the company‘s growing business and customer expectations. The plant occupies a new surface area of 4,600 m2. It has been equipped with the latest generation equipment, including a new powder blending unit relocated on the existing site.
This project is a major milestone in the company‘s history. More than 20 new jobs have been created, including around 15 on the production site itself. Qualified operators, administrative staff and engineers are joining the existing teams. The production capacity has also been significantly expanded to support business growth.
The teams took advantage of this industrial investment to modernize the infrastructure, meet CSR challenges and further improve employee safety and food safety. Laboratoire PYC is ISO 22000 certified.
