Nutritional gummies are actually one of DCC Health & Beauty ’ s most recent investments , as it constantly renews and refreshes its capabilities and product portfolio . “ By doing so , we ensure that we stay ahead of the game in terms of product innovation . When we acquired Ion Nutritional Labs , the business already possessed gummy manufacturing capabilities . However , we saw an opportunity to differentiate ourselves in the gummy market . We didn ’ t just buy more machines to increase our capacity ; instead , we carefully considered what kind of benefits we wanted to offer in our gummies . To achieve this , we collaborated on the design with our fantastic in-house expert , or ‘ Gummy Guru ’, who helped us during the design phase by assessing where the gummy market was headed and what consumers might want from a gummy product , then helping design the technology to bring that to life .
“ Therefore , we invested in various levels of capability . First , we ensured that our gummy production was conducted in a current Good Manufacturing Practices ( cGMP ) suite . As we approached gummy manufacturing as a nutritional health supplement manufacturer and developer , we designed our equipment to optimize the ingredients we could put into a gummy , ensuring the product ’ s stability and considering the needs of our customers and their consumers . To cater to various tastes and diets , we developed vegetarian- and veganfriendly products , as well as bilayer gummies to provide a more interesting product format . The knowledge we have gained from our US operations has informed the development of our gummy format capability at our EuroCaps soft gel facility in the UK , allowing us to become one of the first companies in Europe to offer nutritional health gummies in a dedicated cGMP facility .
