Our Past Inspired Us. Our Future Drives Us.
Our story began in 1954 with a single site in Eustis, FL, where we pioneered clean label innovation.
Through strategic acquisitions including Amelia Bay, Comax Flavors, T-Bev and Javo Beverage, we’ve expanded our portfolio, strengthened our capabilities, and extended our reach.
Today, we’re bringing it all together under one bold name: Vibrant Ingredients—a brand that reflects who we are today and where we’re headed, while honoring the legacy and purpose that brought us here.
Our history shaped us. Our partnerships and expertise define us. This rebrand unites us—creating the foundation for everything that comes next.
We connect people with real.
We’re Vibrant. A dynamic company that also happens to be the world’s largest private equity owned natural ingredients company for food and beverage manufacturers. We do so much, so well, and in so many places around the United States, that we’ve united under one name: Vibrant.
Vibrant is who we are. A group of dedicated, passionate experts. We’re enthusiastic about what we do, who we work with, and why we do it. We connect people with real. Honest-to-goodness natural ingredients that are Purely Better™. Real ingredients from around the world that are the foundation for extraordinary food and beverage experiences—for our customers and their consumers.
Vibrant. Purely
Purely Better Ingredients. Purely Better Impact.
When you’re fulfilling a promise, your word is your bond. That’s why we source our raw materials carefully, working with domestic growers we’ve spent years getting to know and building trust with them.
We have year-round access to supply and inventory, providing our food and beverage manufacturer partners with high-quality, plant-based ingredients that offer exceptional flavor, color, efficacy, and consistency.
From raw material through finished U.S.-produced ingredients, we control the entire process, ensuring access to high-quality natural, clean label, and safe ingredients and flavors for our food and beverage manufacturing partners—and their consumers.
While our technology and processes lead the industry, our OTAC rate does, too. Our team is accessible, efficient, and effective. Count on the best natural ingredients on time and on budget.
A word about sustainability: We partner with our customers to create environmentally friendly products that are Purely Better™ for people and the planet. We source our natural ingredients responsibly, and we pack and ship them responsibly. Not to get corny about it, but nature is good to us—it’s why we’re in business—and we’re continually looking for ways to get better.
We hold ourselves to the highest standard
We’re proud to set the bar high. Quality, safety, and integrity are built into everything we do. Our teams work tirelessly to ensure every ingredient and beverage solution meets rigorous global standards. We deliver products our customers can trust with complete confidence. By holding ourselves to these standards every day, we strengthen brands, delight consumers, and bring Purely Better™ experiences.
The Vibrant community
At Vibrant Ingredients, community is at the heart of what we do. Just as our ingredients nourish people every day, we believe in nourishing the lives of those who serve and support our country. That’s why we’ve partnered with Soldiers’ Angels, a national nonprofit dedicated to fighting food insecurity among veterans, service members, and military families.
Through donations and volunteer support, we’re helping provide meals and resources to the men and women who have given so much. This is more than philanthropy, it’s our commitment to making a positive impact beyond the kitchen, extending the spirit of “Purely Better™” into the communities where it matters most.
