Protica, Inc., the makers of the first protein shot, Profect®,
and dozens of the world’s most compact protein and energy drinks,
has now set its sights on bulk packaging, thanks to International
Dispensing Corporation’s (IDC) (IDND.PK) patented aseptic tap The
Answer™.
The Answer, the world’s only aseptic dispensing device, enables
shelf-stable liquids in large-format packages – such as a
bag-in-box – to be dispensed safely and repeatedly over extended
time without refrigeration. IDC and Protica recently inked a deal
that grants Protica exclusive distribution rights to The Answer for
protein-based and energy-based liquids.
“The Answer allows consumers to purchase many of the same
beverages and liquid supplements they have bought in the past, but
in a bulk format that requires no refrigeration and gives the
consumer a tremendous cost savings at the register,” says Greg
Abbott, founder and chairman of IDC. “It enables the consumer to
store the product virtually anywhere, even after repeated use, and
is extremely environmentally-friendly, cutting down on landfill
waste and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.”
“For several years Protica has been the exclusive manufacture of
vial-based protein and energy drinks, producing some of the most
compact beverages and supplements on the market,” says Jim Duffy,
Protica president. “One of the drivers for us has been to deliver
novel, efficacious products with the greatest level of convenience.
The Answer allows us to continue that movement, but on a bulk
basis. We can now deliver a tremendous economy of scale to our
business partners and consumers.”
Protica’s house brands and private-labeled brands are currently
distributed in tens of thousands of retail locations throughout the
healthcare, sports nutrition and mass retail channels. Products
using The Answer will be sold through the same channels.
