VIRGO's Supplyside Health & Nutrition Network Names First Insights Awards Winners
NEW YORK, May 1, 2013 /PRNewswire-iReach/ -- VIRGO (vpico.com), an information distribution company focused on the most innovative and complex business-to-business markets that fuel the U.S. and world economies, announced the winners of its inaugural SupplySide Insights Awards today.
The awards celebrate successful market launches driven by connected CPG supplier/formulator partnerships in beverage, omega-3 and cosmetics.
"Selecting the winning partnerships honored in our inaugural SupplySide Insights Awards program was a great challenge, as the finalists in all three categories—beverages, cosmetics and omega-3s—represented quite innovative and successful finished products that were born out of a desire to work synergistically in product development," said Heather Granato, vice president, content, VIRGO's SupplySide Health & Nutrition Network. "We spent a good deal of time looking at the breadth of the partnership, the science behind the ingredients and the consumer market response."
Winners were announced today at 9:30am at the opening presentation for SupplySide MarketPlace, which runs through tomorrow, May 2, at Jacob Javits Center in New York City.
The Beverage Insights Winner is:
Tipton Mills' Probiotic Instant Coffee, developed with Ganeden Biotech
The Cosmetics Insights Winner is:
COTY's Beyoncé Pulse NYC fragrance, developed with Symrise
The Omega-3 Insights Winner is:
Swanson Health Products' OmegaActiv™ Super DPA Fish Oil, developed with Cyvex Nutrition/Omega Protein
"In recognizing an instant coffee that delivers beneficial probiotics, a celebrity-branded fragrance with a unique red velvet cupcake sensory component, and a dietary supplement incorporating a less known, but certainly essential, omega-3, our SupplySide content team congratulates the companies behind the product development. Next year's awards could very likely be focusing on products developed directly out of the buyer-seller connection that happens at SupplySide MarketPlace," Granato added.
