ENRECO®, Inc. Earns “Superior” AIB Rating for Second Year

April 24, 2008 - Sheboygan Falls, WI – ENRECO®, Inc. recently completed an American Institute of Baking (AIB) inspection at its Newton, WI production facility earning a “Superior” rating for the second year in a row.

“We are very pleased to be recognized with AIB’s highest certification because it affirms our commitment to maintaining the highest level of quality and food safety,” stated Sean Moriarty, President of ENRECO.

The AIB certification applies to all ENRECO product lines including their flagship Sterling Choice stabilized, golden or brown, ground flaxseed, also available as organic. A wide range of food manufacturers include ENRECO products in breads and related food items that are baked, formed or extruded; snack foods; pasta; cereals; energy bars; sauces; and pizza crusts. Ground flaxseed -- especially ENRECO’s Sterling Choice with its proprietary stabilization process giving it long shelf life and extremely low microbial counts -- is continuing to be in high demand by food manufacturers as the nutritional and functional benefits of this “ancient grain” super food are becoming more widely understood.

ENRECO has supported and been involved in research throughout its 21 year history. Currently ENRECO flax is being supplied for cancer research clinical studies at the University of Massachusetts, prostate cancer research clinical studies at Duke University, and weight loss related research at George Washington University.

The majority of ENRECO’s sales are direct to human and animal food manufacturers as bulk ingredients. ENRECO also works with independent distributors. “Currently, ENRECO ships to ten countries outside of the U.S., accounting for about 15% of total sales, and that segment is targeted to grow substantially,” states Ravin Rajan, ENRECO’s Vice President of Operations. “We have grown tremendously in the last few years and have recently expanded into a separate sales and marketing office” (in Sheboygan Falls, WI).

Since 1987, ENRECO, Inc. has served customers worldwide in both the human and animal nutrition markets with their “Just-In-Time” production. Their diverse line of Omega-3 rich, stabilized flax and custom blend flours, as well as flax oils, are Kosher certified and also available under the OneCert organic certification program.
