Rapid Nutrition Appoints New Board Member

Australian natural healthcare company Rapid Nutrition has appointed Vaidy Nateshan to its board of directors.

Nerang, Queensland, March 08, 2012 – Mr Nateshan’s career includes work in both the operational and strategic aspects of a wide range of industries ranging from oil and gas, Information Technology, business consulting and pharmaceuticals.

Having travelled extensively, he has worked in over 30 countries and executed and managed strategic alliances in over 12 countries, which includes managing a joint venture in China and setting up marketing operations in the Middle East.

He has also managed manufacturing, marketing and financial operations for companies in India, South East Asia and the Middle East.

Rapid Nutrition managing director Simon St Ledger says Mr Nateshan was instrumental in the recent acquisition of Indian manufacturing company Cheminnova, and with his specific experience within the healthcare sector, will prove to be extremely beneficial for the company.

“Mr Nateshan’s extensive experience in business consulting and pharmaceuticals will assist the company to grow both its offering and client base,” Mr St Ledger says.

“His appointment is key in enabling Rapid Nutrition to position itself as a world leader in natural healthcare as he has been identified as a business turnaround expert and a keen strategist.

“Having held senior management positions in his career, Mr Nateshan has served as a very useful interface between the expectations of the investor and the customer and will be invaluable as a director of our board.”

Mr Nateshan says his immediate plans are to meet with several key banks to investigate future finance options.

“Through my career I developed an aptitude to raising equity and debt capital in multiple countries and I intend to actively seek more revenues for capital raising for the company,” Mr Nateshan says.

“Through this I hope to build the profile of Rapid Nutrition and raise more awareness about the brand and products internationally.”

Rapid Nutrition recently announced its intention to list on the Deutsche Börse’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The listing proposal will be presented to Rapid Nutrition shareholders for final approval in the coming weeks with the aim of a company roll up into a UK based public limited company to be completed soon after.

Rapid Nutrition enter into Equity based Joint venture agreement with Indian pharmaceutical company

Australian natural healthcare company Rapid Nutrition has entered into a joint venture agreement with Indian pharmaceutical production company Cheminnova.

Nerang, Queensland, February 27, 2012 – Rapid Nutrition, whose flagship product Leisa’s Secret, a set of scientifically formulated weight loss and maintenance supplements, has already achieved considerable success both in Australia and overseas.

The company’s managing director, Simon St Ledger, says the joint venture is on an equity basis and will enable Rapid Nutrition to manufacture its own high quality finished formulations as well as derive an income from continued contract manufacturing.

“This is a strategic growth opportunity for Rapid Nutrition as we gear up our global expansion plans,” Mr St Ledger says.

“The venture, which involves business generating assets valued at over $20 million, gives us both equity and captive production capabilities in exchange for part of our business and access to our products.

“While our manufacturing capacity is adequate for current demand, this purchase will allow us to not only increase our output, but take advantage of its research and development facilities for new products.

“Once acquired we will have a manufacturing capacity of 3.5 million tablets, one million capsules and one million bottles of liquid orals in glass and PET bottles per 12 hour shift.”

Established by the late Dr M Seshgiri Rao in 2001, Cheminnova has three facilities which manufacture non-sterile pharmaceutical formulations in solid and liquid dosage forms for a range of major multinational food and pharmaceutical companies.

Cheminnova has full HACCP, ISO 14001, ISO 9001 and GMP certification as well as complying to Halal and Ayush requirements and is in the process of establishing their presence across the US, Africa, Europe and Asia, all of which will enable Rapid Nutrition to be prepared for meeting higher regulatory requirements for international markets.

Cheminnova’s managing director Vasudev Rao says he is excited at the prospect of the partnership.

“Rapid Nutrition is developing niche products and is expanding into a comprehensive healthcare company,” Mr. Rao says.

“As such our combined resources should result into the full vertical integration of research, production, marketing and sales of a range of innovative products.”

Cheminnova’s head of Business and Strategy, Vaidyanathan Nateshan, says the joint venture is a natural fit and a strategic step forward for both companies and will aid globalising both business models.

The acquisition is expected to be finalised sometime in March.

Rapid Nutrition recently announced its intention to list on the Deutsche Börse’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

The listing proposal will be presented to Rapid Nutrition shareholders for final approval in the coming weeks with the aim of a company roll up into a UK based public limited company to be completed soon after.

Australian Natural Healthcare Company to list on Frankfurt Stock Exchange

Australian natural healthcare company Rapid Nutrition has announced its intention to list on the Deutsche Börse’s Frankfurt Stock Exchange.

Nerang, Queensland, February 20, 2012 – Rapid Nutrition, whose flagship product Leisa’s Secret, a set of scientifically formulated weight loss and maintenance supplements, has already achieved considerable success both in Australia and overseas.

The company’s managing director, Simon St Ledger, says Rapid Nutrition is now in a position to be able to list on an exchange, and the Deutsche Börse offered the best option for international expansion.

“Rapid Nutrition’s listing will provide the necessary capital to support our international expansion plans, particularly into our target market in the United States,” Mr St Ledger says.

“The Deutsche Börse is the world’s largest stock exchange by market capitalisation and provides access to a global market.

“It will also give us access to a much larger consumer base so all these factors make it an attractive option to become a publicly listed company.”

Rapid Nutrition has appointed corporate advisors Stepping Stone Equity to complete the listing process in conjunction with a German market maker to list through the exchange’s entry standard.

Mr St Ledger says Rapid Nutrition successful and profitable track record over the past 10 years has enabled it to build a sizeable export market with registration, contracts and sales within several key regions through the Middle East, Asia and Europe, however liquidity in the company is required for further expansion.

“While we have achieved considerable domestic and international success to date, we are now focussing our energies on the US market which will give us a far greater opportunity to further our expansion plans,” Mr St Ledger says.

“We are already well underway with negotiations for a number of partner agreements and distribution channels in this market.

“Our listing strategy will provide us with both the capital and opportunities to continue our research and development and expansion of our product range and help to secure our place as a dominant player in the health and wellbeing industry worldwide.”

The listing proposal will be presented to Rapid Nutrition shareholders for final approval in the coming weeks with the aim of a company roll up into a UK based public limited company to be completed soon after.
