New Infographic Showcases GOED’s Benefits Across Member Companies
In an effort to help GOED members understand how GOED activities are connected to multiple departments within member organizations, we have created a new infographic to define how GOED supports key business areas within your company. Our programs and activities are connected to Sales/Business Development, Marketing, Regulatory Affairs, Research & Development, Corporate Affairs and Technical/QA, among other disciplines, making us a one-stop-shop for growing your business.
We want to expand our reach within our member companies, and part of that is having key contacts in each business department. This will help us share relevant information to each person including sales leads, regulatory updates, consumer research, etc. If you are the lead contact in any of these six business areas – or can provide details on these contacts - please email Ashley Becnel.
In the latest interview of the Meet a GOED Member video series, we interviewed Jane Wu, International Sales Director of Xiamen Huison Biotech. Click the thumbnail or the button below to learn about the company’s work and contact Jane for more information.
Please note that GOED does not analyze or make any representation of accuracy for the Omega-3 News items. This is simply a compilation of news articles found on the internet that are relevant to the EPA and DHA business.
Highlights
Resource for Members: List of Lubricants Used in Omega-3 Processing
GOED’s Technical Committee has initiated a compilation of information about lubricants used by GOED members in their EPA/DHA omega-3 oil manufacturing processes. This summary provides information about diverse types and sources of lubricants, and the mineral oil hydrocarbon (MOH) composition of mineral oil-based lubricants, as reported by lubricant suppliers or determined by GOED members themselves. The table may be of interest to see which lubricants are in use today for specific manufacturing processes by different companies and can also help members identify lubricants with low levels of, or free from, MOAH. The table summarizing the information is now included on GOED’s MOH Resource web page.
If you like to include information about the lubricants you employ in your operations, please contact Gerard Bannenberg. All submitted information will be treated anonymously.
