Two Kansas City Firms Join Forces to Sell Probiotic Products Online
SCD Probiotics and OCCU-TEC have formed an alliance to sell consumer-packaged
probiotics online, through a new site, InnovativeProbiotics.com.
(Kansas City, Missouri) February 3, 2011- SCD Probiotics, a Kansas City-based
manufacturer of probiotic products, is partnering with OCCU-TEC, a leader in
sustainable safety and education for industrial customers, to promote, sell and fulfill a
complete line of probiotic products geared for consumer applications.
OCCU-TEC will provide the consumer products under the brand “Innovative
ProBiotics”, and market through their e-commerce site, www.InnovativeProbiotics.com,
which was officially launched in January to capture the large and growing market demand
for probiotics*. The global market for probiotics (including foodstuffs and supplements)
is to grow to $31.2 billion by 2014 according to a new market research report,
'Probiotics Market (2009-2014)’, published by MarketsandMarkets.com. The major
factors driving the growth of the global probiotics market are the increasing levels of
health-consciousness and the availability of probiotics in the form of dietary
supplements.
Further market opportunity exists in the $52 billion US pet industry, where according
to the PetFoodForum (2010), new products are crucial to revenue growth, and the top
claim in 2009 was “natural” (almost double the claims compared to 2007).
Demand for “all-natural” lawn and garden products continue to grow as well. The $460
million (2008) estimated Organic Lawn and Garden Industry Sector was up 12% over
2007** and is expected to continue. Several SCD Probiotics products being sold on the
new e-commerce site fall into this category.
A list of online consumer SCD Probiotics products, for Human Health, Pets, Home,
Farm & Garden and Kitchen & Bath, is included on the following page.
“We are excited to be a part of this growing market opportunity,” says Skuli
Gudmundsson, Chief Executive Officer of OCCU-TEC. “This is a perfect
complement to our mission of delivering sustainable solutions for businesses and
consumers. We are fortunate to have a top-quality manufacturer of probiotics right
here in our home town, and we look forward to working closely with SCD Probiotics.”
In addition to their e-commerce site for consumers, OCCU-TEC operates as an enduser
provider of industrial products for SCD Probiotics, educating government and
business customers and offering solutions using beneficial microbial technology. These
applications include wastewater treatment, odor and pathogen control, environmental
bioremediation, agriculture, industrial waste reduction, aquaculture, recreational water
quality improvement and commercial composting.
“OCCU-TEC is committed to a similar mission as SCD Probiotics - delivering
sustainable solutions for businesses and now, consumers,” says Matthew Wood, Chief
Executive Officer of SCD Probiotics. “Together, our companies can provide people
interested in natural, environmentally-friendly products a wide variety of probiotic
products for their homes, their pets and their personal health.”
Based in Kansas City, Missouri, USA, SCD Probiotics harnesses nature’s ability to
restore personal health and the environment through the development of exclusive
probiotic technology. SCD Probiotics Technology utilizes beneficial microorganisms
(good bacteria) to repopulate toxic environments with healthy microbes. For more
