Sicily-based Nexus Laboratori has signed an exclusive global distribution agreement with Switzerland-based Swisseutic for Amunì—a premium line of botanical extracts made from Sicilian plant varieties.

The Amunì line is made with high-quality plant-based Sicilian raw materials such as citrus fruits, Pantelleria capers, Etna prickly pears and pomegranate, according to a joint press release from the companies.

Nexus reportedly works directly with local producers and then produces the finished ingredients in Italy using “innovative extraction processes”.

Under the terms of the agreement, Swisseutic will serve as the strategic commercial arm for Amunì and will introduce and promote the line worldwide.

Industry veterans

“For over 20 years, I have developed products using the best ingredients available globally, focusing on innovative combinations and galenic forms to offer something new and unique to the market,” said Maria Calcara, founder and CEO of Nexus. “I soon realized that to achieve true innovation, it was necessary to create our ingredients from scratch. Amunì represents this vision, remaining deeply rooted in my land, Sicily.

“With Amunì, we aim to share the richness of our Sicilian tradition with the global supplement industry and introduce new ingredients to formulators, thereby enriching the available health and wellness offerings. Our partnership with Swisseutic brings invaluable experience to this project, providing a global vision and reach from the outset.”

The new collaboration arises from years of successful partnership between Calcara and Christian Artaria, founder and CEO of Swisseutic. Artaria established Swisseutic earlier this year after decades in the industry with companies such as Indena and BGG.

“We are excited to collaborate with Nexus, launch this new product line and introduce it to the global nutrition market,” Artaria said. “The demand for innovative products in our sector remains exceptionally high, and with Amunì, we aim to offer unique nutritional ingredients, leveraging the culinary excellence of a region renowned for its Mediterranean diet and rich traditions. The Amunì line aligns perfectly with Swisseutic’s philosophy, focused on high-quality, fully traceable natural ingredients.”
