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.

What we do:

A visit to the place where a modern classic was born

Hamburg is our home and also the birthplace of a drink that probably every cocktail fan knows: the Gin Basil Smash. Reason enough for us to pay a visit to Bar Le Lion. This is exactly where the green classic was created in 2008 and, from Hamburg, has made its way onto bar menus far beyond the city limits. This is especially exciting for us, of course, because basil also plays a role at Nutramaxx: With our basil extract, we bring that characteristic green herbal note to a variety of product concepts. It’s all the more wonderful to try the Gin Basil Smash right where it originated and, as a team, take in a bit of Hamburg’s cocktail history along the way. Which Hamburg food or drink institution should we visit next as a team?

Have you ever heard of a “fridge cigarette”?

Don’t worry, nothing is actually being smoked here. Behind the so-called “Fridge Cigarette” lies a current beverage trend that originated as a quick break featuring an ice-cold Coke. Now, the concept is getting even more experimental: Coke meets espresso and creamy vanilla foam. Sounds unusual? That’s exactly what makes it so appealing. With our cola-flavored spice extract, coffee extract, and vanilla extract, you can reinterpret this flavor combination: spicy cola notes meet bold coffee and a sweet, creamy vanilla note. An exciting example of how social media hype can suddenly spark new ideas for product development. Cola, espresso, and vanilla: Would you try the “fridge cigarette”?

Summer still in the glass, autumn already in the flavour

September falls somewhere in between. And that’s exactly what calls for a drink we’re usually more accustomed to seeing in a teacup: rooibos. Instead of serving it hot, let’s simply enjoy it cold. In the form of a Rooibos Vanilla Iced Latte, the distinctive flavour of rooibos meets a subtle hint of vanilla and a creamy base. Served over ice, the result is a drink that still looks like late summer, but brings a hint of autumn to the glass in terms of flavour. A new way to use rooibos beyond the classic tea as a base for modern drink concepts. Team hot or team iced: how would you most like to reinterpret rooibos?

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.
