An established manufacturer of gummies and honey lozenges in the health and wellness space, Island Abbey has been contract manufacturing for some of the industry's leading brands for more than 13 years. In the Summer of 2023, the company brought its newest manufacturing capabilities online with considerably increased capacity and new technology including a heavy suspension skid, enabling market-leading loads of active ingredients within a gummy, and increased capacity for their unique honey gummies.
To continue the forward momentum, the company has decided to clearly indicate its specialization as a manufacturer of gummy vitamin, mineral and supplement products by changing its name from Island Abbey Foods® to Island Abbey Nutritionals™.
Island Abbey Nutritionals' new manufacturing capabilities were made possible by the installation of top-of-the-line gummy production equipment commissioned from Tanis. The Island Abbey Nutritionals team was closely supported by the Tanis team in all elements of the new line, from R&D to design, installation, and production.
The company, based on Prince Edward Island, Canada, has undertaken a capex expansion to meet the demand for new, innovative and delicious gummies in the health and wellness market. They have tripled their production space in recent years, and now have a state-of-the-art facility stretching more than 70,000sq-ft. The facility is certified GMP by NSF and is certified SQF under the GFSI scheme.
As a major employer on the island, Island Abbey Nutritionals worked closely with the PEI BioAlliance, a private sector-led not-for-profit organization dedicated to building the bioscience industry on Prince Edward Island.
