KOLMAR BNH STRIVES FOR GLOBAL EXPANSIONS BUILDING ON HEMOHIM’S RECOGNITION

KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 22 (Bernama) — Kolmar BNH immune-boosting health supplement, ‘HemoHim’, has earned international recognition for its quality from both the United States (US) Food and Drug Administration (FDA) and Australia’s Therapeutic Goods Administration (TGA), enhancing its credibility in the global marketplace.

In a statement, Kolmar BNH announced its Sejong plant obtained a No Action Indicated (NAI) classification following an inspection by the US FDA in September.

This classification, which confirms that the facility fully complies with US Current Good Manufacturing Practice (cGMP) standards for quality control, has further intensified Kolmar BNH’s competitiveness as a leading global Original Development Manufacturer (ODM) in the health supplement industry.

“We are committed to enhancing our competitiveness in global markets through ongoing quality innovation and additional global certifications, with HemoHim at the forefront of our efforts,” said an official from Kolmar BNH.

The FDA inspection was conducted to evaluate the company’s quality management capabilities, particularly in response to the increasing exports of HemoHim to the US.

The NAI classification reflects a comprehensive evaluation of key factors, including manufacturing processes, hygiene standards, quality control procedures, and employee training.

Meanwhile, HemoHim’s quality has previously been recognised in Australia, where the Sejong plant obtained Good Manufacturing Practice (GMP) certification from the TGA in 2021.

To meet the Australian TGA’s GMP standards, Kolmar BNH implemented a Standard Operating Procedure (SOP) at the Sejong plant that aligns with international GMP guidelines for pharmaceutical production and quality control.

Building on its success with FDA and TGA certifications, Kolmar BNH plans to expedite HemoHim’s expansion into global markets.

Launched in 2006 and distributed by Atomy, HemoHim is Korea’s first individually approved immune-boosting supplement, made from Korean natural ingredients, with the product currently exported to approximately 20 countries.

GRADIANT’S FOREVERGONE PROVEN TO COMPLETELY WIPE OUT PFAS IN INDUSTRIAL USE


KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 9 (Bernama) — Gradiant, a global solutions provider for advanced water and wastewater treatment, has announced a major milestone in the fight against per- and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) contamination, with its ForeverGone all-in-one solution.

Working with contaminated industrial, municipal, and landfill waters, ForeverGone has been quantifiably proven, through multiple third-party accredited laboratories, reducing PFAS to levels below regulatory limits and destroying the resulting PFAS concentrate completely.

“To support the development of ForeverGone, we have made a significant investment in the Gradiant Labs’ capability to detect PFAS down to just one part per trillion, which uniquely enables us to rapidly offer customer partners the proof they seek of the effectiveness of our technology on their contaminated water,” said Gradiant Head of Technology, Steven Lam in a statement.

Meanwhile, its Global Head of Sales, Sankar Natarajan said key decision makers appreciate ForeverGone’s differentiated proposition to remove and destroy PFAS from all types of contaminated waters.

“We are experiencing an unprecedented sales velocity from first engagement to full-scale project deployment across multiple industrial sectors, including semiconductors, food & beverage, mining, and major municipal utilities, all striving to meet regulatory requirements and safeguard their communities,” he added.

This milestone in development confirms ForeverGone, introduced earlier this year, as the only all-in-one solution capable of removing and destroying PFAS on-site, eliminating the need for waste handling, landfilling, or incineration, differentiating it from conventional technologies, including granular activated carbon (GAC) and ion exchange.

The containerised ForeverGone solution is deployed quickly and commissioned on-site to effectively reduce PFAS to levels below the United States Environmental Protection Agency (EPA)’s new maximum contaminant level of 4.0 parts per trillion (ppt), and the strict limits set by European and Australian regulations.

Gradiant is actively deploying the ForeverGone solution at customer partner sites worldwide, offering them the significant advantage of all-in-one PFAS removal and destruction.
