Power Health Products are a contract manufacturer of health food supplements, sports nutrition and natural hair and skin care products based in Pocklington, East Yorkshire.

Founded in 1972, Power Health employs around 80 people and supports nutraceutical businesses throughout the UK and beyond.

The acquisition brings together Power Health’s product development and manufacturing expertise with Chester Medical’s capabilities in contract packing and printed packaging manufacture, creating an end-to-end proposition for customers in the nutraceuticals market.

Both businesses will continue to trade under their existing names and maintain their current operations following completion.

David Patterson, Managing Director of Chester Medical, said:

”This acquisition is a major milestone for Chester Medical.

“It enhances our offering, creates new opportunities for collaboration and growth, and strengthens our ability to support customers at every stage of their journey.

“There is an excellent cultural and operational fit between the two companies, and we are excited to see what we can achieve together.”

Vicky McIver, Managing Director of Power Health Products, said:

“The health food supplements market has evolved significantly over the last five decades, and we are proud to have grown and evolved with it.

“Joining forces with Chester Medical marks an exciting new stage of growth for us and secures a strong future for the business.”

This is often due to the need to contain multiple languages, combined patient and prescriber leaflets, or technical drawings and diagrams.

Leaflet tabbing is one of the many leaflet finishing capabilities available at our Deeside site.

It provides the ideal solution to size constraints.

Thanks to its compact fold size, our tabbed leaflet process makes the best use of the available space in a carton.

The label ensures that the leaflet is securely folded, preventing it from springing open.

Our leaflet tabbing solutions offer the following advantages:

• User convenience: Tabbing allows users to easily fold and unfold the leaflet

• Environmentally-friendly: Tabbing can help reduce the amount of excess space, meaning less carton material is required

• Tamper evident: The securely folded label helps identify if there is any tampering of the product
