Company History:
Soft Gel Technologies Inc. (SGTI) provides custom contract manufacturing of soft gelatin capsules exclusively for the nutritional products industry. The company creates unique, high value added products and develops technologies that make its products work better than traditional delivery systems providing enhanced bioavailability, activity, and functionality. SGTI offers numerous exclusive ingredients for soft gel applications; many are patent protected and most have been proven effective through clinical research. We support our exclusive products and our customers through extensive marketing and educational efforts.

SGTI distributes its products through many major branded marketers/manufacturers of dietary supplements including natural product retail, complementary health care practitioner, multi-level marketers, and direct to consumer lines.

SGTI started when its founder and president recognized that there was a shortage of soft gelatin encapsulation capacity for the natural products industry. SGTI became the first company to offer soft gel capabilities exclusively to the natural products industry and has maintained this focus. In the past, nutritional companies would borrow line time from drug, cosmetic, and even paintball manufacturers. This lack of focus on nutrition as the core business of some of the traditional suppliers stifled innovation and limited nutritional formulation complexity and sophistication.

From its inception, SGTI has kept a goal of providing high value added products. Specifically focusing on ingredients that were difficult to absorb, difficult to encapsulate, or fragile to work with, SGTI has developed an array of proprietary technologies that allow its products to deliver superior results. SGTI has a dedicated product development team that has earned many U.S. patents.

Most of the company’s formulation patents are for significant technological breakthroughs in the area of nutrient bioavailability. These proprietary formulation and production methods allow products such as CoQsol or GlucoTrim to deliver a more effective dose of the key bio-actives in the specific formulation.

Another key strategy for SGTI has been the negotiation of many exclusive encapsulation agreements with leading ingredient supply companies. Through these arrangements SGTI has become the sole or preferred encapsulator of many clinically proven ingredients. These agreements have also allowed SGTI to confidently invest in developing superior delivery systems for these unique bio-actives. Products such as Sytrinol, Wasabisol, Carnisol, and Leci-PS are examples of superior ingredients being delivered using proprietary technology.

SGTI has maintained a leadership position on product standards and product quality. With representation and active participation in many of the industry’s leading quality focused organizations—including the National Nutritional Foods Association, Council for Responsible Nutrition, AOAC International, American Herbal Products Association, and the Drug, Chemical, and Allied Trades Association—SGTI has been active in setting the standards for quality in this industry.

At SGTI the focus is on being able to provide customers with unique technologies, products, and services that ultimately allow them to differentiate their brand and deliver superior products and results to their end users. The company maintains a keen focus on providing meaningful tools to support optimal health and look forward to a future filled with innovation and product success.
