Brunel Healthcare takers over vitamin supply firm

Brunel Healthcare has announced that it is to expand it operation in the UK after a vitamin supply firm was acquired by its parent company on its behalf.

NeutraHealth has acquired an aspect of the Allegan group, which develops and distributes vitamin and mineral supplements (VMS), while the Brunel Pharma division has been sold to Perrigo, which had previously owned Allegan.

The supply business is to become Brunel Healthcare Manufacturing and it is hoped that it will help to enhance the position of the Brunel Healthcare “family” within the market for VMS products in the UK.

“This cornerstone acquisition reinforces the pre-eminent position of NeutraHealth within the UK’s natural wellbeing market and its status as the leading supplier for private label VMS,” a statement from Brunel’s parent company explained.

Brunel Healthcare was established in 1982 and its marketing, sales and regulatory staff are based in Bristol in the south-west of England.
