Tailored Support

Every collaboration begins with a thorough intake where all aspects of the client’s request are carefully discussed: formulation, legislation, technical feasibility, the latest trends, sustainability choices, and logistical handling. UTB tailors its support throughout the collaboration in close consultation with the client. This support is continuously evaluated and refined throughout the partnership.

UTB offers the entire development and production process, allowing clients to enter or exit at any desired stage, from formulation to logistical handling, based on their goals and preferences:

Development and formulation
Sourcing of raw materials
Purchase of raw materials
Weighing and blending
Processing into semi-finished products
Packaging
Logistics and customer service

From Small Volumes

UTB has a heart for startups and believes in growing alongside the client. Our machinery is equipped to handle all quantities, starting from small batches. The wide range of machine types ensures that we can continue to support the client’s journey, even with large volumes. If needed, UTB is open to co-investing to write the next success story together with the client.

Possibility for Interventions

UTB employs flexible planning that is monitored and adjusted daily based on the actual situation. Where possible, ad hoc interventions can be made, for example, in case of raw material shortages or stock shortages. Clear and targeted two-way communication between the company and the client is essential. Clear agreements are made regarding forecasts and associated projections. These interventions are closely monitored.

Wide Range of Products

With nearly 40 years of experience, UTB has built a strong field of expertise and a wide range of products, including complex formulations and productions. A broad spectrum of galenic forms is available, from powders to liquids. Innovative trends ensure increasing variety. Additionally, packaging options are numerous and align with essential changes in sustainability.

Quality

Uncompromising in Quality

The quality of products manufactured by UTB has a significant impact on consumer health. In this context, the company’s primary goal is to produce high-quality, safe, and hygienic nutritional supplements, supplementary animal feeds, and premixes. To ensure quality, safety, and hygiene, UTB has an internal Quality department with quality officers at each production site and overarching coordination. Processes are continuously implemented, monitored, established, and adjusted to match UTB’s growth while complying with highly volatile legislation.

UTB’s Core Objective

Producing high-quality, safe, and hygienic nutritional supplements, (supplementary) animal feeds, and premixes.

Internal Quality Department

From the inception of UTB, a rudimentary quality manual was drafted and implemented. This pioneering work, supported by specialized consultants, evolved over the years into a comprehensive, tailored quality manual for UTB. Today, this quality management system is managed and overseen by a robust internal Quality department. In addition to strict, ongoing controls on all aspects of the company and production process, the quality team continuously monitors changes in legislation, new certification requirements, and client demands, translating them into new procedures and work practices.

Audits and Certification

Through periodic audits by recognized institutes, UTB’s quality standards are thoroughly reviewed. Following these audits, UTB is certified ISO 22000, BIO, and FCA..

Sourcing of High-Quality Raw Materials

Unicum Trade Botanicals began as a sourcing and trading operation for high-quality raw materials, a tradition that continues: UTB only procures high-quality raw materials according to predefined specifications. Our suppliers are screened annually to ensure they consistently meet UTB’s quality standards. Additionally, every raw material undergoes an incoming inspection where various required criteria are checked before acceptance, and random laboratory analyses are regularly performed on different raw material categories.

Robust ERP System

UTB uses a robust ERP system where production processes are managed through production protocols, recording batch numbers and expiration dates. All transactions related to purchasing, goods receipt, goods dispatch, deliveries, invoicing, and other operations are logged, ensuring full traceability of all goods. Production protocols include guidelines (work methods, cleaning procedures, points of attention, etc.) directly derived from the quality manual. Post-production, protocols are reviewed by the quality manager, who checks and adjusts them as needed.

Broadly Trained Employees

Quality is a collective effort: every UTB employee receives continuous internal training on the quality measures applicable to their role. These internal trainings are supplemented by targeted external training to keep our knowledge base up to date. We involve everyone broadly in the quality narrative and invest in a shared Food Safety Culture.
