Nutri-Nation Functional Foods is part of a private, family-owned and operated manufacturing and marketing group which began in 1971 and continues today in the hands of the founders. First and second generation family members hold key hands-on management positions with the company. The focus on quality, service and commitment to our customer partners’ needs is never left to chance. It is Job 1, 2, and 3. Everything else follows.
The company operates out of two locations in Port Coquitlam, British Columbia, Canada ~ a 30 minute drive from downtown Vancouver. Nutri-Nation’s new, state-of-the-art production facility was added for increased production capacity and the first production line became operational in September 2013. Additional lines and production capabilities came on stream during 2014 and 2017.
Our Product Perspective:
We strive to make products that are truly functional, based on solid nutritional science. We do this without losing sight of the fact that a positive taste experience is also essential for the long-term market success of our customers’ products. Our customers are generous with their praise about our ability to make bars that perform nutritionally, and that taste great.
Our extruders can achieve both single and multi-layer extruded bar varieties. Some of our extruded formulations include soft whole food and organic fruit & nut style bars, large format high protein bars for sports nutrition, candy-bar-like caramel layered bars, and more.
Our slab or sheet-formed bar lines are very versatile. Slab-forming is a good option for bars made predominantly of delicate particulates such as cereal or protein crisps, or large particulates such as whole nuts. Caramel or other layers can be added, and chocolate chips or other bits can be deposited on top.
Our custom-built chocolate enrobers offer the flexibility of full enrobing, bottom coating, and chocolate drizzling. Enrobing with real chocolate, compound chocolate, yogurt or other coatings can easily be accomplished in-line.
