Sabinsa Corporation, East Windsor, NJ, has lost a good friend, mentor and one of the primary people responsible for Sabinsa’s portfolio of health-enhancing ingredients with the death of Dr. Rajinder K. Bammi on December 15, 2012 in Bangalore, India. He was surrounded by his family and close friends, and leaves behind his wife Doris, daughters Asha, Pamela and Reena, and four grandchildren.

Dr. Bammi has been an integral part of the Sabinsa and Sami Labs group of companies since their earliest days. He was president of Sabinsa R&D in New Jersey from 1997 until 1999, at which time he became director/president of Sami Labs in Bangalore. In 2007 he was elevated to chairman, a position he held until his passing.

“My dear friend and colleague played a major role in the growth of Sabinsa and Sami Labs,” said company founder Dr. Muhammed Majeed. “He made innumerable contributions in the growth of the company and was an integral part of the R&D efforts upon which our success is based. We will all miss him enormously.”
