Nutramaxx · Naturally made. For you.

Your companion for essences and extracts from Hamburg, Germany.

Tailor-made.
Naturally. For you.

Nutramaxx® is your companion in product development when you are looking for plant extracts, distillates or essences for your products. We make food more natural. We produce tailor-made extracts in consultation with you and also support you in further product development when it comes to topics such as product safety and declaration issues. In doing so, we use our worldwide network for raw material procurement, which we have been steadily expanding since 2005, and are thus able to serve even unusual customer requests.

Vanilla is of particular importance to us. We develop extracts from vanilla beans from various regions such as Madagascar, Uganda, Tahiti or Mexico. Our focus and expertise in this area have also been reflected in our new logo.

An Aroma for Celebratory Moments

Sparkling wine is more than sparkling. The aroma profile is defined by bright fruitiness, a fine acidity, and subtle yeast notes that provide elegance and depth. Our sparkling wine flavour captures exactly these characteristics and makes them accessible for a wide range of product applications. Whether in alcohol-free aperitifs, confectionery, fillings, desserts, or seasonal editions: the aroma introduces a clear, lively note that is reminiscent of festive moments, without the need for alcohol. Fruity grape nuances and light floral accents create a profile that can be combined in many ways - from citrus to berry. How would you translate the taste of New Year’s Eve into a product?

An Evening of Flavor, Ideas and Looking Ahead

At our Christmas celebration, the Nutramaxx team came together in Wirsberg to enjoy a truly culinary experience. It was wonderful to finally be all of us together again, sharing an evening filled with great conversations, refined flavors, and a look back at a year shaped by new developments and creative projects. Looking ahead, one thing quickly became clear: 2026 is set to become even more flavorful. One highlight of the evening? The planning of an ideas workshop, where we aim to develop new concepts, creative applications, and sensory impulses - to inspire you with even more unique creations in the year ahead. With natural extracts that precisely convey flavor profiles, we will continue to enable innovation - for confectionery, fine foods, beverages, and seasonal editions. We are excited about a new year full of ideas, development, and, of course, flavor. And we would like to sincerely thank you for your loyalty over the past year. What flavors would you love to see in 2026?

Spice meets chocolate

Gingerbread is defined by the combination of sweet, warm, and spicy notes. Our gingerbread-type spice extract brings this profile in a compact form to modern chocolate and praline creations. In filled pralines, cookies, ganaches, or seasonal chocolate, the extract delivers distinct spice nuances: cinnamon, clove, nutmeg, and subtle caramel hints that harmonize perfectly with both dark and milk chocolate. Even small dosages are enough to create depth and recognizability - without overpowering the sweetness. The application is ideal for limited winter editions or artisanal creations. Where would you like to use gingerbread flavor next?

From the initial idea
to market readiness:

1 How it all begins

It all starts with your idea and request for a particular product or taste.
With counter-questions we clarify for which application the product is and which qualitative specifications it must fulfill. BIO, Naturland or Fairtrade certified? Halal, kosher or baby food? If we have a suitable product in our range by default, we will send you a sample immediately.
A suitable product for your wish does not yet exist? No problem, we at Nutramaxx love innovation and the challenge—the journey begins with step number 2 ...

2 Selection of suitable raw material suppliers

We create a supplier selection for the suitable raw material with which we can later create an individual sample for your request and clarify the following questions:
Do we have all documents and certificates for the raw material? And: Is the raw material available or could there be bottlenecks?
We then order a raw material sample from a suitable supplier.

3 Sample Production & Analysis

The basis for your individual sample is produced in a rotary evaporator or as an extract or macerate.
The process is continuously documented and, among other things, the specifications for the sample are recorded.
After the basic sample arrives, an extraction or distillation is performed and your individual customer sample is developed.
We perform detailed analyses with information on allergens, pesticides, chemical-physical parameters etc.
Finally, we create the final specification of your sample.

4 Your lab tests, our support

We will send you your individual sample and you can now start your own tests in the lab.
But also at this point we do not leave you alone:
If you wish, we will be happy to assist you in creating the recipe or the list of ingredients.
We can also develop ready-to-consume samples for you.
We are also there for you if you have any legal questions about topics such as sales descriptions or ingredient lists.

5 Final formulation & market readiness

The customer sample appeals to you and the end customer product is to be launched?! Wonderful!
In this case, we create our final recipe and a process instruction, secure the raw materials in coordination with you and produce a defined quantity with the help of our manufacturing partners so that you can start a pilot production on your plant.
In addition, we create your customer-specific specification including documentation and commission further analyses.

6 Delivery

The time has come: your individual, tailor-made product is produced and delivered!

We are looking forward to your inquiry!

We are aware of our social responsibility.

Not just words,
but actions:

As a company, we are aware of our responsibility to keep pace with social and sustainable standards.

The world we live in is changing, and climate change is making itself increasingly felt. We are contributing to a more sustainable and environmentally friendly way of working by making changes in our organization bit by bit and paying attention to the careful use of resources.

But our attention is not only focused on our daily work processes. For years, we have been actively supporting the association Help Mada e.V. whose mission is to improve the health and education systems in Madagascar. It is close to our heart to make our contribution at this point.

The non-profit association was founded in 2020 and has set itself the goal of working with local partners to support and implement the construction of health clinics and schools in Madagascar. We at Nutramaxx believe that the development of the Madagascan infrastructure offers the local people even more quality of life and development opportunities, which are to be considered sustainable and long-term.
