California-based Captek Softgel International, Inc. (CSI), a contract manufacturer of custom dietary supplements has acquired J+D Labs Pharma Manufacturing, Inc. Captek Softgel International is a portfolio company of Swander Pace Capital, and the acquisition of J+D Labs is a continuation of SPC’s focus on investing in and growing industry-leading vitamin, mineral, and supplement companies.

For decades J+D Labs has been recognized in the nutraceutical industry as a first-class manufacturer of health and wellness supplements producing more than 1,000 unique formulations. More recently J+D Labs has brought NutraStock to the market, more than 250 bulk stock dietary supplements manufactured in the U.S.

Captek CEO David Wood said this union will result in a greater diversity of offerings and services within the supplement channel. “We have long regarded J+D Labs’ reputation and the significance of what they bring to the table as a leader in the industry,” he said. J+D Labs’ extensive experience manufacturing a wide-range of softgels, specialized tablets, capsules, and powder formulations was a perfect complement to Captek’s offerings. Wood stated, “Going forward, we are committed to our collective success through focusing on our customers,  sharing best practices, and continuing our best-in-class quality and compliance standards.”

“This acquisition is positive for everyone: for our employees, our suppliers, our customers, and the end-users,” said J+D Labs owner, Jay Majmudar. CSI is well established in more than 20 countries. “We are happy to play a key role in helping to expand distribution even further. We will continue to make quality, price, and timely delivery a top priority,” emphasized Mr. Majmudar.

The newly joined companies will continue to produce high quality products in both Cerritos and Vista, CA. This will give customers the business continuity planning they have long sought by having the ability to have their products manufactured at either site. As a result, more than 300,000 square feet of manufacturing, warehousing, and analytical testing labs will immediately bring to market greater capacity, expertise, comprehensive turnkey packaging, the benefits of enteric coating, and more.
