ZMC forms new US subsidiary

Chinese ingredient supplier ZMC has forms a new US subsidiary known as Viatal Corp. The company says the purpose is twofold, to provide ZMC with a direct conduit to the North American Nutritional and pharmaceutical markets that will add on to ZMC’s existing distribution network. The greater purpose for the new subsidiary, the company says, is to provide greater trust and transparency to ZMC’s customers.

According to ZMC, the new subsidiary has a special status in being a ‘named subsidiary’ of the parent company.  This is said to assure brand holders of consistent supply, and to assure them that the transparency of where source materials come from and how they are made that is increasingly required under more stringent GMP enforcement will be delivered. Certificates of Analysis and other documents are increasingly being required to be from the original manufacturer and not altered by a distributor as has been previously accepted policy.

ZMC said the new subsidiary will also provide the parent company a way to participate in the market through trade show sponsorships, trade publication advertising and support to trade industry associations. The company said these activities ultimately promote the exchange of ideas amongst industry members and encourage cooperation within and support for the nutritional industry.
