ABC Nutritionals

ABC Nutritionals is an Irish-owned and operated SME, specialising in the manufacture of nutritional powder and vitamin products for the sports, functional-nutrition and weight-management market segments. Established in 2006, the early years of the business primarily operated as a contract manufacturer of client-branded products. Following a period of sustained growth, it has broadened its product offering, its customer base, and it has increased production capacity to service clients across Ireland, the United Kingdom and Europe. The company now employs 85 staff from its manufacturing base at Shannon, Co. Clare with a turnover in excess of €25m. In 2024, the business will move to a new, state-of-the-art facility, which will enable larger, more efficient, lean and sustainable manufacturing processes. This will position the company for future growth and enhance its reputation in research-and-development fields. It will also provide an opportunity for the implementation of best-in-class manufacturing practices and industry certifications. Since its foundation, the business has developed an award-winning, PHD-level research and new-product-development (NPD) team, garnering a reputation for innovation across its main product segments of sports nutrition, functional supplements, functional meals and weight management. In 2021 the company developed and marketed a sports nutrition range, which initially sold exclusively on Amazon under the PBN brand. ABC Nutritionals has recently developed in-house brands of Activ Health – a range of super supplements – and Fitfork – a range of ready-to-go meals. ABC Nutritionals continues to explore customer and market trends, ingredients research and nutritional research to identify opportunities for future growth and authenticate its reputation for leading-edge NPD.

Marigot Ltd

Established in 1992, Marigot Ltd is a provider of bioactive marine ingredients. Its range of marine-derived minerals includes Aquamin and Aquamin Mg. Aquamin is derived from one unique raw material, the red algae Lithothamnion species. According to Marigot, Aquamin is an all-natural, allergen-free material, which includes calcium, magnesium and 72 trace minerals, and can be easily used in food, drinks, and dietary supplements where it is proven to positively impact bone, joint and digestive health. Marigot has researched the material extensively through independent clinical trials, which are published in international peer-reviewed journals. Aquamin Mg is an excellent source of magnesium, which is derived from the clean ocean waters around the Irish coast. The company has several manufacturing facilities, with a growing international network of exclusive distribution partners serving the needs of local markets. Marigot ensures that the sustainability of its raw materials is at the forefront of its activities, harvesting only mature forms, calcified seaweed, and leaving ‘live’, young seaweed untouched.
