ACI Group has extended its partnership with Ayurvedic nutraceutical brand Orcas Naturals.
This strategic move will expand the company's natural product range, while also offering its clients a single-source solution to simplify the procurement process.
Through the extension of their collaboration, ACI Group will now provide the market with more than 40 bioactive powders and extracts such as ashwagandha, curcumin and amla.
This follows the sharp rise in demand for Ayurvedic ingredients in recent years.
Orcas Naturals also promotes sustainability by using renewable energy in its manufacturing processes, while also repurposing any by-products as fertiliser.
The expanded range allows ACI to offer a seamless, single-source solution for customers, simplifying procurement, enhancing quality control and ensuring regulatory compliance, all while reducing costs associated with managing multiple vendors.
"We are excited to expand our offerings with Orcas Naturals, a trusted partner known for its premium Ayurvedic ingredients and reliable sourcing network," said Sam Lubbock-Smith from ACI Group.
"This partnership highlights our ongoing commitment to delivering sustainable solutions while improving supply chain efficiencies. Sourcing resilient ingredients like Ashwagandha and Curcumin allows us to meet the evolving needs of the nutraceutical, wellness and personal care industries."
"Formulators in the nutrition industry face mounting challenges, from supply disruptions to complex formulation needs," he added.
"Our partnership with Orcas provides formulators the stability and consistency they need, ensuring standardised, authentic ingredients in various formats, including gummies."
