gelatin
Gelatin is derived from the
lower dermal layer of cowhides. Gelatin is an important ingredient for the
production of different foods and pharmaceutical products.
GELCO S.A. AND PROGEL S.A.
were both established in order to manufacture and supply food and
pharmaceutical grade gelatin. General Foods and the Australian company Goodman
Fielder Wattes provided the technology and know-how in order to establish two
state-of-the-art manufacturing facilities. The principle objectives of the
companies are to optimize the manufacturing efficiencies and to constantly
improve the product quality. Both companies utilize a continuous extraction
process with a production capacity of over 8,000 Metric Tons per year. The raw
material is locally produced from bovine hides and sourced from BSE-free
countries.
QUALITY ASSURANCE
We recognize the importance
of quality assurance throughout the entire process of manufacturing, packaging
and shipping. Strict compliance with G.M.P. standards creates a customized
capsule that provides exceptional performance with all types of filling
equipment.
Capsules are produced in
accordance with customers filling needs. Special export packaging has been
designed to offer the best protection to the capsules for shipment to the
various climates of end markets. It is recommended that capsules be stored at
a temperature between 59F and 77F (15 C - 25C) and between 35% to 55% relative
humidity.
