The United Natural Products Alliance (UNPA), an international association of forward-looking companies dedicated to providing consumers with natural health products of superior quality, benefit and reliability, is pleased to welcome North American contract manufacturer The Rhema Group as its newest member.

Headquartered in Coquitlam, British Columbia, Rhema has served the health industry as a custom and private-label manufacturer and packager of high quality, innovative products since 1990. The Rhema Group consists of Rhema Health Products Ltd., a dry dosage manufacturing and packaging facility; and Harmony Concepts, a powder blending facility, and Rhema Health Products Inc., a packaging facility, both in Ogden, Utah. Rhema Innovations Limited offers cross-border, product-development services.

The company provides formulation and flavoring capabilities, state-of-the-art blending and material flow, encapsulation, tableting, coating and packaging into multiple formats from bottles to stick packs. Both U.S. and Canadian facilities are NSF Certified and NSF Certified for Sport and offer both certified organic and kosher production.

“We have long admired UNPA’s distinguished reputation in and significant contributions to the natural products industry,” said Carmine DiGiovanni, vice president of sales and marketing for Rhema. “Having consulted with UNPA President Loren Israelsen on several matters through the years and having attended UNPA education events, we have personally experienced elements of the value proposition that membership in UNPA offers. We are pleased to join this esteemed group of industry leaders.”

“We have watched the Rhema Group grow and develop into a first-rate, top-tier contract manufacturer,” said Loren Israelsen, UNPA president. “With Rhema’s growing presence in Utah and continued North American expansion, we welcome its support and leadership, and we are thrilled to bring its current insights and expertise in state-of-the-art custom and contract manufacturing to the UNPA membership.”
