ShanMin has recently moved away from being just a contract manufacturer and turned into an innovative company that is first to the market with a range of functional products. ShanMin currently employs 30 people from almost every scientific and technical discipline employed in their R&D department. The main products of Shannon Protein Technologies Ltd are protein powders for sport uses and well-being, especially to prevent the loss of muscle, increase strength, help reduce body fat, aid recovery and maintain fitness.
ShanMin will be responsible for the drink sector in this project. The development of a cholesterol-lowering health drink fits exactly in the portfolio of health-improving products and is in accordance with the company’s recent plans to approach the health food sector and build up a distribution network with health food stores. The introduction of the new cholesterol-lowering drink will also help ShanMin developing new markets along with their functional beverages range. Willie Wixted, food technologist, will co-ordinate the activities of ShanMin and together with Gillian O’Shea, head of QM and with a degree in food science, will develop the drinks.
