2025 was a big, busy, brilliant year at Stratum Nutrition®. We grew, we innovated, and we set the stage for even bigger things ahead. From operations upgrades to global partnerships and award-winning innovation, this year was packed with milestones that made it one to remember. Here is a peek behind the curtain at what kept us moving, motivated, and energized all year long.

Operations That Work Smarter

Our operations team raised the bar this year. They installed a brand-new production system with in-line sterilization, which means we can produce more, faster, and with even better precision. At the same time, we opened a new warehouse, bringing all our storage into one centralized hub. The extra office space that came along with it gives our team room to grow and collaborate more efficiently.

On top of that, we partnered with a third-party milling provider for calcium and EMC operations. This step helps us streamline production while also opening the door to water-dispersible membrane products. More options for our customers means more ways we can help them succeed. And that is exactly what we are here for.

Team Growth and Global Reach

The heart of Stratum is our team, and 2025 was a year of adding incredible new talent. Bradley Olyn joined us in Sales and Customer Relations, Samantha Vasquez stepped in as Administrative Assistant, Marie Parks came on as our Ingredient Science Specialist, and Jacqueline Rizo is now leading Public Relations. Each of them brought their own spark to the team, and together they have helped us reach new heights in connecting with partners and customers worldwide.

Speaking of global reach, we expanded our distribution partnerships across Asia and Europe. We are now working with Alchem Enterprise in Bangladesh, Baidhyanath and Amvigor in India, Dang Hung Chemical in Vietnam, Charmant Ingredients in the Philippines, Phytonet Pte in Malaysia and Singapore, and CFM Corporation in Italy. On top of that, we teamed up with EuroDev to better serve our EU customers, and with a personal touch.

Innovation on Display

Innovation is always at the core of what we do. 2025 was the year we went global, literally. We exhibited at Vitafoods Europe and Vitafoods Asia for the first time, sharing our story and connecting with partners on a truly international stage. 

And let us not forget OVOLUX™. This award-winning launch showcases what happens when science meets creativity. OVOLUX is a premium collagen ingredient designed to support skin elasticity, hydration, and overall youthful appearance. It stands out for its high purity, clinically backed efficacy, and versatility, making it an ideal solution for both functional foods and beauty supplements.

Since its launch, OVOLUX has quickly earned recognition across the industry. In 2025, it was named Collagen Ingredient of the Year by the Beauty Innovation Awards, celebrating its cutting-edge formulation and the measurable benefits it delivers to consumers.

Fresh Look, Fresh Start

We also gave Stratum a fresh look this year with a redesigned website and a new office. Both changes make it easier for our team, our partners, and our customers to engage with us. Clearer, simpler, and more intuitive, just the way we like it.

Looking back, 2025 was all about building strong foundations, growing our team, expanding our reach, and celebrating innovation. We are proud of everything we accomplished, and we cannot wait to see what 2026 has in store. If there is one thing we know, it is that with the right people, the right partnerships, and a little curiosity, there is no limit to what we can do.
