Indfrag Limited is a leading manufacturer, exporter and importer of natural extracts for the Dietary Supplement, Sport Nutrition, Pharmaceutical, Food and Cosmetic Industries in the American, European and Asian regions.

The Beginning

In 1989, Philip Samuel founded Indfrag with the technical collaboration of a French subsidiary of Unilever. The goal was to manufacture high quality fresh flower extracts in India, where the raw materials were readily available. The extracts were then supplied to fragrance houses in Europe.  In natural product processing, floral extraction is known to be the most delicate. Highly sensitive techniques are required to preserve the subtle fragrance of flowers. Indfrag developed these techniques into fine art. Applying this expertise to botanicals is what gives us a technological edge today.

Botanical Extracts for Healthcare

In the 1990s, more and more people turned to nature for healthcare. Since we already had the knowhow to produce fine natural extracts at Indfrag, we diversified into the manufacture of botanical extracts for health foods and dietary supplements. Today, our main focus is on selected products that originates from traditional Indian texts, and a few others of international renown.

The Vision

Philip Samuel is an engineer with a passion for quality. He has built finely designed facilities using the best equipments available. He believes that it is essential to keep on upgrading resources to stay ahead. His goal is to achieve consistently high quality with every single Indfrag product. And to do so with a genuine concern for the environment and for people-not just people at Indfrag but the community at large, the customer and the end-consumer. This is why Philip Samuel believes high technology per se is not enough. and that one needs to apply science with a conscience.

The Quality Chain

We maintain very stringent quality control at every stage of operation.

Sourcing

Our raw material come directly from the source. We have developed personal relationships with wild-crafters and cultivators from the unspoilt regions of the earth. For instance, apart from the far reaches of India, we source out St. John's Wort from Chile, Valerian Root from Poland, Gingko from China, etc.. We regard our suppliers as partners. This personal equation makes the crucial difference. We get the best quality at a reasonable prices.

Storage

Fresh raw materials are stored on site in large, well-maintained storage warehouses. This environment is kept scrupulously clean without the use of pesticides.

Production

Our production facilities are Food Grade and meet GMP standards. Three independent production lines allow us to extract three different products simultaneously. We have designed the facility with maximum flexibility, allowing the production of large bulk orders or small batches at short notice. Currently, the capacity of the plant is approximately 4,000 tonnes of raw material per year.

The ISO 9001 Quality System

Indfrag has been awarded the ISO 9001 certificate for quality by RW TUV of Germany. What this means is that we have established and applied a quality system in our factory to design, develop, manufacture and supply Natural Extracts conforming to ISO 9001 standards.
