Amplio Ingredients: Formulating Success With Local Herbs?

From Malaysia to world - how Amplio Ingredients wants to leverage local herbs and bring them into the global supplement supply chain. In this episode of Open For Business, we dive into the origins and ambitions of this Malaysian health supplement ingredient supplier with Executive Director and COO Cheong Wai Loon.

Amplio Ingredients specialises in sourcing health supplement ingredients from global manufacturers while providing formulation support for clients, as well as regulatory advice for end products. They cater to industries ranging from functional foods and nutraceuticals to personal care.

In this episode, we explore Amplio’s journey—from its origins and evolution to its growth strategies. Cheong Wai Loon shares insights into the company’s future, including whether an IPO or M&A could be on the cards, as well as key lessons learned from Sunzen Biotech’s acquisition and subsequent divestment of a 70% stake in Amplio. We also discuss how Amplio collaborates with local universities and research centres to advance its products and ingredient offerings, leveraging local herbs.
