LBB Specialties, a supplier in specialty chemicals and ingredient distribution in North America, announced a new partnership with Viscofan DE, a global collagen manufacturer. LBB Specialties will be Viscofan’s preferred partner in the U.S. for the distribution of its portfolio of premium collagen hydrolysates, including Collinstant and Collinstant LMW.
 
Viscofan has over 90 years of experience in the collagen market. We are excited to bring this expertise to our customer base, as these products meet global consumer demand for highly bioavailable ingredients with a major advantage over traditional collagen formulas,” said Mike DeGennaro, senior vice president of LBB Specialties Food & Nutrition.
 
Viscofan DE is the collagen business within the Viscofan group, which applies proprietary technologies and standardized extraction methods to process collagen from bovine skin for the development of novel collagen ingredients and biometrics.
 
“LBB Specialties’ technical expertise and dedicated commercial team is uniquely positioned to expand our innovative offerings in the US nutraceutical market,” said James Murray, business manager at Viscofan. “Their existing portfolio of high-quality ingredients for health and wellness applications is the perfect complement to our Collinstant product line of collagen peptide alternatives.”
