Atrium Acquires AquaCap for $21.5 million
Originally developed for the pharmaceutical industry, the liquid delivery technology allows for the liquid filling of hard two-piece capsules with oils, vitamins, minerals, amino acids and herbal extracts. This encapsulation process of liquids provides for a better absorption, stability and bioavailability of the nutrients while avoiding the use of excipients often required in the manufacturing of dry capsules or tablets products. Moreover, not only can gelatin capsules be manufactured using this technology but also this technology can be used to manufacture the more natural vegetable-based capsules for which there is a growing demand. Liquid capsules permit minimal runs allowing for more flexibility in manufacturing and better inventory management.
