Sirio Pharma Co., Ltd. (Sirio), a leading global CDMO, has announced the completion of its acquisition of a majority stake in Best Formulations LLC, a California-based contract manufacturer of nutritional supplements and personal care products. Best Formulations is the largest manufacturer of plant-based softgels in the United States, with recently expanded capabilities for nutritional gummies and personal care.

This combination will improve our ability to assist customers in expanding, accelerating growth, and increasing long-term profitability."

The acquisition of Best Formulations fits into Sirio’s global strategy to bring innovative quality products to customers around the world. By purchasing Best Formulations, Sirio can fully meet the production needs of both international and local brands. Customers will benefit from expanded capacity, global R&D collaboration, local market insights, and diversification of products and services.

Eugene C Ung, CEO of Best Formulations LLC, said, “We are incredibly excited to partner with Sirio. The synergies we can bring from our partnership, including the gummy and softgel businesses, have been recognized by some of our key customers. I’m pleased to announce that Jeffrey Goh will lead the team as CEO. I will continue as executive manager working with the Board on integration, synergies, and strategies. We collectively expect the synergies will bring higher growth and long-term value to our customers, business partners, employees, and stakeholders.”
