For more than 50 years PLT has dedicated itself to securing the highest quality raw materials. Our innovation and commitment to provide our customers ingredient solutions are increasingly recognized in the food, functional food and nutritional supplement industries. PLT is especially known for expertise in hydrocolloids, botanical extracts, specialty nutraceuticals and nutricosmetics. We also carry specialty products such as natural resins which are protectants in coating materials.

Our customers look to us for more than supply - we are a partner in the product development process. The technical team at PLT provides valuable assistance in ingredient selection, texture system development, research and literature procurement, and, most importantly, providing the best solution at the right price.

Plants with therapeutic and efficacious properties are found on every continent and in every environment, making raw material supply a global endeavor. PLT’s record of success is very much based on our ability to establish and maintain an extraordinary network of strategic partners.

Our international staff conducts business in more than 10 languages in over 30 countries – our understanding of the cultural nuances and political landscapes, and even weather patterns, help protect our customers’ supply needs. We spend a lot of time visiting our suppliers, and are thereby better able to ensure superior quality control and regulatory compliance.
