Aloha Medicinals has announced the addition of a second facility, expanding its production footprint as demand for functional mushrooms increases.
The Nevada-based company will add more climate-controlled grow rooms and new processing capabilities to its Carson City operation, shortening lead times and strengthening supply security for customers.
“Demand for our full spectrum products keeps growing and this expansion lets us grow with our customers,” said Steve Riccardelli, President of Aloha Medicinals.
We are taking the cultivation expertise and quality standards we’ve built [during] the years and giving them more room to scale.
Aloha Medicinals said the expansion comes as the company works to broaden its role "from mushroom ingredient supplier to innovation and formulation partner."
In addition to its current portfolio of whole mushroom ingredients, extracts and proprietary blends, the firm is growing its branded ingredient business with platforms including FungiFuse and MyceliaGI.
FungiFuse offers ready-to-use solutions for Focus, Energy, Daily Wellness and Relaxation, as well as custom formulation capabilities.
MyceliaGI expands Aloha Medicinals’ branded ingredient portfolio, giving customers another unique mushroom-based platform for product development.
Beyond supplements
The company said the expansion would also give it more room to support continued growth across traditional formats such as dietary supplements, functional foods and beverages and coffee alternatives.
Aloha added that it would also support other emerging applications for functional mushrooms such as pet health.
Riccardelli explained that customers had been seeking support with development and formulation.
Our customers are asking for more than ingredients.
"They need reliable supply, formulation support, consistent quality and partners who can scale with them. This expansion strengthens our ability to deliver on all four," he explained.
