BioGaia in strategic alliance with BERICAP

BioGaia has concluded a global collaborative agreement with Bericap Sarl, the
French subsidiary to the German Bericap Group, which is one of the world´s
largest manufacturers of caps and other package closures, with 20 factories in
18 countries that produce approx. 50 billion closures per year. 

The agreement means that the two companies will collaborate in the development,
manufacture, marketing and sales of BioGaia´s patented cap, Life Top Cap, which
was developed to protect sensitive ingredients, such as probiotics, from
humidity, heat and light in PET bottles. 

The Bericap Group will market Life Top Cap to its customers throughout the
world, produce it and develop new variations to different bottle types and
sizes. BioGaia will sell and market the product and through its 50%-owned
company Two Pac, handle the ingredients and produce the aluminium blisters that
protect these ingredients and that are mounted in Life Top Cap. 

“This collaboration with BioGaia follows several years of searching by BERICAP
to find the best compromise between an efficient system of protection for the
ingredients against humidity and a simple and cost effective solution that is
easy to understand and to use by the consumer” says Dominique-Paul Vallé, CEO,
Bericap Sarl. 
”We have already had many benefits of collaborating with Bericap and we are
very happy that they have chosen BioGaia as partner in this growing segment of
the market. BeriCap will help us to enter the market in a completely different
way to how we otherwise could have done.” comments Peter Rothschild, President
