DY Nutrition Global has entered into a strategic partnership with Vitema Pharmaceuticals, one of the most modern GMP-certified manufacturing facilities in Romania, for the production of dietary supplements at the highest quality standards.
DY Nutrition Global SA has entered into a strategic partnership with Vitema Pharmaceuticals to produce dietary supplements to the highest and safest quality standards and is in the process of transferring its entire production worth €15 million per year to the Sibiu plant.
The decision is a natural one given that Vitema Pharmaceuticals has over 20 years of experience in the pharmaceutical industry and is one of the largest and most modern GMP-certified pharmaceutical manufacturing facilities in Europe.
The company specializes in contract manufacturing services (CMO) for pharmaceuticals and dietary supplements, meeting pharmaceutical industry quality standards. This commitment is confirmed by EU GMP certifications and authorisation to conduct its own clinical trials. Pharmaceutical GMP certification is subject to the highest level of scrutiny and regulation due to the stringent requirements needed to ensure the safety, efficacy and consistency of medicines, unlike GMP standards for dietary supplements, which, while important, are generally less complex and rigorous as dietary supplements are considered a different category of products with inherently lower risks. Manufacturing dietary supplements to pharmaceutical standards is a strong differentiator for Vitema Pharmaceuticals and was instrumental in DY Nutrition Global SA's decision to move production locally:
"Vitema Pharmaceuticals' new business vision and ability to produce to the highest European standards with pharma GMP certification led us to make the game-changing decision for the industry in which we operate to produce nutritional supplements to pharma standards, moving production from third party, locally. I believe this is a major step not only for the development of DY Nutrition, but for the entire sports supplement industry. It is imperative that we keep pace with the direction in which the market is heading, to respond promptly and adaptively to the needs and demands of our consumers both in terms of quality and the most honest cost of the products. I am confident that through this partnership we will be able to implement the vision of the DY Nutrition brand. Dietary supplements, so essential to health and wellness, should not be a luxury, but affordable goods. We are committed to providing high quality products that meet the highest pharmaceutical industry standards at affordable prices." - Mircea Teacă, CEO DY Nutrition Global SA
Recently, Vitema Pharmaceuticals has announced major changes such as the strengthening of the top management team which has managed to surpass the €100 million investment threshold, €10 million in the last 6 months alone, and the signing of strategic partnerships with AI Clinical Research for clinical trials and DY Nutrition Global for contract manufacturing services. The new team has a business vision focused on contract manufacturing services with global market addressability. Among the first steps towards the implementation of the new development strategy are investments in production lines, a change of focus from in-house manufacturing to manufacturing for external partners, a strategic partnership with one of the best global research labs AI Clinical Research and the decision to produce dietary supplements to pharmaceutical standards, leading to the partnership with the DY Nutrition brand:
"At Vitema Pharmaceuticals, our approach is not only about meeting existing standards, but also about redefining new higher standards for safety and efficacy. By manufacturing supplements according to pharmaceutical GMP standards, we ensure that every product that leaves our manufacturing facilities has a high degree of purity and safety and accurately reflects its labeling. We believe it's time for a change in the supplement industry as well, a transition to honesty and complete accountability to consumers. We invite you to join us in this vital mission. Together we can create an environment where consumers can trust the supplements they use and companies can take pride in the products they offer." - Abdul Yassin, CEO Vitema Pharmaceuticals
