Manufacturer relationships and the documentation to back them up.
Germany · Sahel Region
Willy Benecke is a German company headquartered in Hamburg. They've been processing and trading gum acacia for decades, with sourcing relationships that reach directly into Sudan and across the broader Sahel region. Their SprayCom facility handles spray drying and agglomeration on-site, at 4 million kg annual capacity.
Both Acacia senegal and Acacia seyal come in spray-dried powder and agglomerated grades, conventional and certified organic. The organic grades are certified by Ecocert in the EU and by PAT's Oregon Tilth certification in the United States and Canada. The SprayCom facility carries FSSC 22000 food safety certification.
Colombia · Amazonian Basin
Nutreo is a Colombian manufacturer based in Cali, specializing in functional ingredients sourced from Amazonian and tropical biodiversity. Their product range covers aminochelated minerals, native Amazonian and tropical fruit powders, and precision-fermented mushroom ingredients for the dietary supplement and functional food markets.
PAT Ingredients is Nutreo's North American distribution partner for select product lines. Nutreo works directly with Colombian farming cooperatives, maintains chain-of-custody traceability to harvest source, and develops new ingredients from the region's botanical diversity. They are an active R&D company with a growing ingredient portfolio.
Their work is documented. The Ganogen® Reishi is backed by a randomized clinical study conducted over two years. Their chelated minerals are manufactured to pharmaceutical-grade purity standards. Traceability on the Amazonian fruit powders goes back to harvest source.
We look for manufacturing partners in specialty ingredient categories that complement our existing lines. If you produce quality food or supplement ingredients and are exploring North American distribution, we'd like to hear from you.
