Sunwin International Neut. Inc. FRISCO, TX--(Marketwire - February 12, 2008) - Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. (OTCBB: SUWN), a leader in the production and distribution of Chinese herbs, veterinary medicines and one of the leading producers of all natural, zero calorie stevia in China, announced today that its North American segment, Sunwin USA, Inc. will implement a new effort to advance the company's bulk stevia sales and strategic partnerships in North America and Europe. The company's proprietary blended dietary supplement, branded under the name OnlySweet™ continues to witness strong demand, and will remain a key component of the company.
Management of both Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. and Sunwin USA, Inc. completed a series of strategic planning meetings in Dallas, Texas and have identified significant opportunities in North America and Europe for their high grade bulk stevia products. As a result of the increased capacity of Sunwin's stevia production facilities and the growing demand for stevia across the world, Sunwin is poised to take advantage of these opportunities.
Major international food and beverage companies have launched initiatives seeking approval from various government agencies for the use of stevia as a food additive in products ranging from drinks to an assortment of cookies, cakes and other food products. Management believes that these initiatives, if successful, could exponentially increase demand for stevia and the company is seeking to create strategic partnerships with consumer product companies who are evaluating the use of stevia in their products in these markets as well as those markets where the use of stevia as a food additive is already approved.
Jeff Reynolds, President and CEO of Sunwin USA, Inc. stated, "The number of retailers carrying our OnlySweet™ product in the United States represents a significant achievement. The response from consumers in the United States clearly demonstrates the growing demand for all natural, low calorie alternatives. This initiative will focus on developing strategic partnerships with global consumer products companies seeking to incorporate stevia in their products to satisfy the growing demand."
Laiwang Zhang, President and Chairman of Sunwin International Neutraceuticals, Inc. commented, "On a global scale, consumers recognize the tremendous value of stevia. Recently we announced our increased production capacity, in an effort to satisfy growing demand. This new effort will seek to develop strategic partnerships that will solidify our position as a worldwide leader in the production of quality stevia."
