AYER, Mass. & PHILADELPHIA--(BUSINESS WIRE)--Cambrooke Therapeutics, a member of The Ajinomoto Group, and Trovita Health Science, a specialty medical nutrition company, announce a joint marketing and development partnership for ENU® Nutrition meal replacement shakes.
ENU Nutrition products were developed in collaboration with registered dietitians from leading academic and community cancer centers in the United States to help those seeking a highly nutritious, more natural, non-GMO nutrition supplement drink. Trovita launched ENU in 2014, and more than two million servings have been consumed by a wide range of consumers, including those with oncology nutrition needs, cystic fibrosis and even elite athletes—all who share a desire for high quality, calorically dense nutrition.
Cambrooke’s acquisition of the ENU brand and strategic alliance with Trovita will allow more patients to benefit from ENU. Cambrooke will manufacture ENU in its Ayer manufacturing facility, and Trovita Health Science will continue to market and distribute ENU. The strategic partnership includes new product development guided by the global nutrition R&D powerhouse in Cambrooke’s parent company, Ajinomoto.
Howard Lossing, Cambrooke CEO, notes, “Our mission of providing superior nutrition solutions to those with chronic health conditions is well aligned with what the team at Trovita has done with the ENU brand. ENU offered us an opportunity to enter into new therapeutic nutrition areas and provides a basis for a robust stream of nutrition innovations to help ENU customers thrive. We’ve manufactured ENU for Trovita for over a year; the more we learned about ENU and the Trovita leadership team, the more we wanted to strengthen our partnership for the betterment of ENU customers. I see great value in this type of business model where we start as a service provider and become a strategic partner to a company whose mission aligns with ours.”
William Brown, Trovita Health Science CEO, said of the partnership, “Trovita is excited to collaborate with the Cambrooke Therapeutics team and serve as a marketing, distribution and new products development partner. Our loyal customers will now have more reliable access to ENU Nutrition. We know many patients who suffer with cancer and cystic fibrosis have come to rely on our products, and our alliance will secure the future of ENU. Trovita’s mission is to reduce malnutrition with innovative medical nutrition solutions, and we will now more thoroughly deliver on that promise.”
