Headquartered in Schenectady, NY, the company has a global network of manufacturing and distribution facilities throughout Europe, Asia, South America, Mexico and the United States (New York and California).
Fortitech provides dedicated technical support to assist manufacturers with product development to successfully differentiate their products. Fortitech experts work closely with a customer's R&D team to address specific issues of each product and the unique needs of each customer. Premixes streamline the production process because a nutrient premix is a single source of multiple nutrients, which means manufacturers save on labor, cost and testing. Fortitech provides solutions and is expert in delivering multiple nutrients in a single premix while preserving three key elements of successful premixes: taste, stability and texture. Key to our strategy is developing formulations using functional ingredients that serve a dual purpose by delivering health benefits while also providing processing advantages such as better distribution for homogeneity. Moreover, our nutrient premixes provide manufacturers with a competitive edge to drive sales.
