Commenting on this year’s awards, Gary Scattergood, managing director of APAC at William Reed, the publisher of NutraIngredients, said: “It was an absolute honour to announce the winners of the ninth NutraIngredients-Asia Awards, held for the third year in the great city of Bangkok.
“The evening was a celebration of the industry’s biggest commercial successes, best product developments, and brightest research, and this year we received a record 256 submissions. The sheer number of entries – and the high standards from all that entered – made the judging process incredibly difficult.
“That’s why I’d like to thank our expert panel of independent judges, which spent many hours assessing and evaluating all of the entries in great detail. The panel was made-up of senior industry professionals from across the globe and we are deeply grateful for their insights, patience, and guidance throughout the judging process.
“Also, of course, thank you to everyone who entered. To be recognised as a finalist, amid such intense competition, was a huge achievement in itself. But a special mention must go to our winners. Their entries clearly demonstrated scientific rigour, commercial success and a compelling narrative of how the products, ingredients and research are meeting clearly defined consumer needs across Asia. Huge congratulations to all 17 award-winners.”
