TR International Opens Doors

ALPHARETTA, Ga.In August, TRInternational announced its entry into the supplier portion of the nutraceuticalmarketplace with a mission to act as a conduit between its customers andinternational manufacturers. Currently, most distributors in the middle ofthe supply chain arent providing substantive value, but are adding heavyoverhead costs and profit margins, said Nick Bain, vice president of TRInternational (www.trinternational.biz). Most customers would desire ashorter supply chain, but often cannot support the volumes required to justifydirect importation of materials. The company has positioned itself to offerpricing similar to that found by purchasing direct from foreign firms, withoutlarge volume requirements.
