Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals acquires Top Secret Nutrition

NORCROSS, Ga. — Hi-Tech Pharmaceuticals on Monday acquired Top Secret Nutrition, a manufacturer of dietary supplements. The transaction will continue to bolster Hi-Tech's sports nutrition and weight loss arsenal and expand its position as a leader in diet and energy products.



"Hi-Tech's impeccable reputation for pharmaceutical-grade quality, strong innovation and manufacturing expertise make it a perfect complement to Top Secret's brand of high quality nutrition products," stated Brandon Schopp, VP contract manufacturing with Hi-Tech. "Additionally, having access to our extensive production capabilities across a variety of product formats is a significant competitive advantage."



Top Secret Nutrition's newest product, Fireball L-Carnitine liquid, increases metabolism, burns fat, creates thermogenesis and improves exercise performance. Top Secret Nutrition will gain a competitive advantage by being able to utilize Hi-Tech's distribution facilities in Atlanta, Chicago, Pennsylvania and California.



Hi-Tech services health clubs, nutrition stores, specialty retailers, online stores and gyms nationwide. The acquisition, in combination with an expansive capital investment program, will create world-class formulation, product development and production capabilities across in excess of  600,000 square feet of manufacturing space. "Compliance and enforcement have raised the bar for manufacturers, and this acquisition continues to bolster Hi-Tech's brand portfolio," Schopp said.
