Unigen Pharmaceuticals Launching at SupplySide East

BROOMFIELD, Colo.--Univera Pharmaceuticals changed its name to Unigen Pharmaceuticals Inc., effective March 1. Unigen is a subsidiary of Nam Yang, a nutraceutical research company based in Seoul.

According to Derek Hall, chief executive officer of Unigen, the change emphasizes the company's affiliation with Unigen-Asia. "The new name makes a lot of sense for us," he said. "As our business grows and we develop a higher profile, we recognize the need to have one common name, worldwide, that better reflects who we are and what our business is about."

Unigen also announced it has hired Integrated Marketing Group (IMG) in Salt Lake City to develop and execute a marketing plan. IMG will help promote the joint capabilities of the company and support several new branded raw ingredient introductions. Several of these products are due to be introduced at the SupplySide East show in Secaucus, N.J., in May. Unigen will be exhibiting and co-sponsoring the keynote addresss at the show along with its sister company Aloecorp.

Aloecorp recently announced the completion of negotiations to lease 35 acres of land in the Sanya region of Hainan Island in China. It is in negotiations for up to 1,000 more acres in the same region. The land will be used primarily for an aloe plantation and processing facility.
