Booth 3F72

At Vitafoods Europe, Lonza Capsugel will showcase its contract manufacturing capabilities, and how it can help nutraceutical brands keep up with market trends. The company recently agreed to divest its capsules and health ingredients business, in order to strengthen its strategic focus on manufacturing.

At Lonza Capsugel’s booth, the company will showcase:

• Capsugel Plantcaps, built for premium, lasting oxygen protection. The pullalan capsules are designed for both powders and liquid fills, with an oxygen barrier that protects sensitive ingredients. The capsules have a naturally high-luster finish and no risk of ‘spotting’ concerns.
• Euorpean manufacturing, which supports reduced carbon emissions product claims in Europe, as well as end-to-end traceability.
• Planet-friendly capsule solutions, which can drive brand trust and differentiation. Sofia Sotiropoulou, senior director of sustainability and climate innovation, will present at a session, “Sustainability by Design: Partnering to Stay One Step Ahead with Lonza Capsugel,” on May 5 from 1:35-2:05 at the Vitafoods Europe Insights Theatre. Sotiropoulou will present trends shaping the nutraceutical market and how sustainability can be leveraged to build brand differentiation and innovation via products with science-bacekd and regulatory-compliant sustainability credentials. At the booth, Lonza Capsugel will spotlight investments in decarbonizing its manufacturing; its facilities in Belgium and France, as of 2025, run on 100% renewable electricity.
• Science-backed mobility and joint health for humans and pets, via UC-II undenatured type II collagen. It is available in human- and animal-grade formats, with clinical studies supporting its use at a daily dose of 40 mg.
• Dosage form solutions expertise through its innovation services. Lonza Capsugels’ advanced polymer science and capsule technology can turn complex technical challenges into breakthrough supplements. Its Capsugel liquid-filled capsule provide leak prevention for enhanced ingredient protection, while Capsugel beadlets technology supports tailored release profiles that deliver otherwise incompatible ingredients. Capsugel Duocap dual release capsules combine multiple ingredients into one powerful dose, while protecting acid-sensitive ingredients and enabling tailored release profiles. As formulation complexity rises in the European market, Lonza can offer its perspective on how CDMO roles are evolving, sharing insights from working closely with leading manufacturers and supporting brand owners navigating technical, regualtoyr, and clean-label demands.
• In-stock and ready-to-go program; Lonza can provide fast shipping to accelerate product launches, and its capsules can quickly be delivered in a variety of polymers, sizes, and quantities.
