Explore our high-yield, bio-enhanced raw matrices and contract encapsulation capabilities tailored for European, Middle Eastern, and North American distribution.
Analyzing the technical advantages, regulatory alignment, and supply chain efficiencies of establishing OEM/ODM nutraceutical production in Turkey's industrial heartland.
In the contemporary nutraceutical landscape, brand owners face escalating maritime freight rates, volatile lead times, and stringent regulatory barriers. Istanbul, strategically straddling Europe and Asia, has rapidly transformed into Eurasia’s premier contract manufacturing hub for dietary supplements, specifically high-precision softgel encapsulation. Situated near major maritime terminals such as Ambarlı Port and linked directly to European motorway networks, our Istanbul manufacturing facility provides European Union brands with lead times of under 5 business days for land freight, while offering Middle Eastern and GCC partners seamless, duty-advantaged trade routes.
Our state-of-the-art facility operating within the Istanbul Organized Industrial Zones (OSB) adheres strictly to the Turkish Food Codex (Türk Gıda Kodeksi) and EU Regulation (EC) No 853/2004 for food of animal origin, offering overseas procurement managers the exact technical compliance expected from Western European sites at a significant operational efficiency advantage.
Softgel manufacturing is a sophisticated bio-engineering discipline requiring precise thermoregulation, humidity-controlled encapsulation rooms (RH < 20%, Temp 20°C ± 2°C), and automated mass-variation monitoring. Our Istanbul facility utilizes state-of-the-art, high-speed Rotary Die Encapsulation machinery capable of producing softgels in various shapes and sizes: Oval (3, 6, 10, 12, 20), Oblong (4, 10, 14, 20), Round (3, 5, 40), and custom twist-off shapes for topical or oral liquid delivery.
Sourced exclusively from certified Halal and Kosher slaughterhouses. We utilize 150 to 200 Bloom strength gelatin to guarantee rapid disintegration times (<15 mins), robust mechanical strength, and superior thermal resistance during transit.
Utilizing modified tapioca starch and carrageenan matrix systems. Engineered specifically for temperature-sensitive markets, offering zero cross-linking risk and higher thermal stability up to 45°C.
Equipped with homogenizers and vacuum deaerators capable of milling insoluble active powders down to <50 microns. Prevents particle sedimentation and ensures uniform fill-weight precision (±1%).
Custom formulation architectures designed to meet distinct consumer preferences and regulatory compliance profiles across target sales territories.
Demographic demand in Riyadh, Dubai, and Istanbul favors high-potency skin-brightening and anti-aging softgels. Formulations combining liposomal Kojic Acid, Reduced L-Glutathione, CoQ10, and Virgin Argan Oil require 100% certified Halal bovine gelatins audited by GSO/JAKIM accredited authorities.
Distributors in Germany, France, and Benelux demand non-animal softgels encapsulating Algal DHA/EPA oil, Cold-Pressed Black Cumin Seed Oil (Nigella Sativa), and Evening Primrose Oil. Our modified starch technology guarantees zero odor leakage and extended 24-month stability profiles.
Local pharmaceutical networks require Ministry of Agriculture approved food supplements featuring high bioavailability: Vitamin D3+K2 in Extra Virgin Olive Oil bases, Liposomal Iron suspensions, and concentrated Lycopene softgels for men's wellness.
How our R&D center addresses changing consumer intent and regulatory evolutions across global markets.
Standard softgels release their liquid fill within 10–15 minutes in gastric fluid, which can cause unpleasant reflux for ingredients like high-concentrate Fish Oil or Garlic Extract. Our Istanbul plant employs advanced aqueous-based enteric coating polymers (free from phthalates and synthetic solvents). The shell remains completely intact in gastric fluid (pH 1.2) for 2 hours and disintegrates smoothly in intestinal fluid (pH 6.8), increasing the targeted bio-absorption of sensitive actives like Probiotic oils and Enzyme complexes.
Polyunsaturated fatty acids (Omega-3, Omega-6-9, Astaxanthin, Krill Oil) are exceptionally vulnerable to oxidative degradation, leading to elevated Peroxide Values (PV) and Anisidine Values (AV). Our manufacturing suite integrates continuous Nitrogen ($N_2$) purge systems from raw oil reception, through vacuum mixing tanks, right up to the encapsulation die pocket. This preserves peroxide levels far below strict European Pharmacopoeia (Ph. Eur.) thresholds.
Moving beyond traditional hard-to-swallow pills, our R&D laboratory formulates chewable softgel matrices using natural fruit extracts, xylitol, and specialized gelatin-glycerin ratios. These softgels can be chewed safely by children and elderly consumers without water, unlocking massive commercial opportunities in pediatric multivitamin and memory-support supplement markets.
Combining 38+ years of legacy formulation expertise with world-class analytical testing infrastructure.
Our on-site testing laboratories are equipped with High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC), Gas Chromatography (GC-FID/MS) for fatty acid profiling, Atomic Absorption Spectrophotometry (AAS) for heavy metal screening, and automated disintegration testing. Every production batch is issued a comprehensive Certificate of Analysis (COA).
We provide full regulatory support for international registration: Free Sale Certificates (FSC), Certificate of Pharmaceutical Product (CPP), BSE/TSE-Free Declarations, Non-GMO Statements, Allergen Reports, and Stability Data generated under ICH guidelines (Real-Time and Accelerated $40^\circ\text{C} / 75\%\text{ RH}$).
From pilot R&D batches of 100,000 units to full-scale commercial runs of 10,000,000+ softgels. We offer end-to-end packaging solutions including ALU-ALU/PVC Blister packing, HDPE Bottling with induction sealing, tamper-evident neck bands, and custom retail folding cartons.
