Jungbunzlauer Showcases Bioavailable Mineral Innovations for Gummies at IFT FIRST 2025
With the global gummy supplement category projected to more than double in size by 2030 to US $52.2 billion [i] and nearly two-thirds of U.S adults now favour gummies over tablets [ii] Jungbunzlauer's offer reflects the shifting preferences shaping this rapidly expanding category.
To support this shift in consumer preference, Jungbunzlauer is introducing a range of innovative formulation solutions built around its proven portfolio of organic mineral salts. These include established ingredients such as zinc and calcium citrates, along with a newly developed, finer magnesium citrate granulation designed to deliver smoother texture, improved flavour, and enhanced bioavailability in gummy applications. The company's latest R&D demonstrates that by combining the appropriate fine-micronised granulation with precisely tuned processing parameters, formulators can achieve better sensory profiles and more effective nutrient delivery in both pectin and gelatine-based products.
"These solutions reflect what Jungbunzlauer stands for: quality, innovation and trust," said Markus Gerhart, Senior Director of the Mineral and Solutions portfolio. "In this application, it's essential that gummies taste great, but not at the expense of performance. With our solutions, brands can deliver a superior consumer experience without compromise."
Key features and benefits include:
High bioavailability: organic citrate salts are well-absorbed
Improved sensory experience: micronised forms for less sandiness and better texture
High dosage possible: allows for nutritional and health claims
Neutral taste and odour: even at high fortification levels
Excellent dispersibility: smooth texture and uniform distribution
Good processability: suitable for pectin and gelatine recipes
Produced with the same reliability, expertise and high-quality that define Jungbunzlauer's wider product portfolio, including acidulants, sweeteners and texturants, these organic minerals are designed to support high bioavailable options, clean-label, sustainable formulation goals without compromise.
Jungbunzlauer's technical team will be available at IFT FIRST 2025, 13–16 July, McCormick Place, Chicago (Booth S723) to discuss how these ingredients can help manufacturers meet evolving consumer expectations.

Austin Roofing & Waterproofing Incorporated: Canada's Largest Fluid Applied Commercial and Industrial Flat Roofing Contractor. Blending Technology with Community Heritage
TORONTO, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - Austin Roofing & Waterproofing, Canada's leader in commercial and industrial flat roofing systems, speaks on coexisting innovation with cultural preservation for heritage communities, and different techniques to determine and establish the best contractor selection for your project. Patrick Austin, President of the organization speaks on how the industry is evolving, and why embracing innovation works to everyone's advantage. Austin Roofing & Waterproofing boasts a generational influence of commercial and industrial roofing throughout Ontario's province, executing some of the largest and most sophisticated roofing projects from global franchises to fortune 500 companies. While Austin Roofing continues demonstrating the leadership traits passed down years ago, it is their leadership strategy which keeps them in the forefront of leading-edge technology and innovation. "There is exciting news from Austin Roofing, said Patrick Austin" we are proud to announce that our firm has been awarded the highly sought-after Heritage Restoration Permit Approval from the City of Markham, Ontario, for the Unionville Curling Club, located in The Greater Toronto Area. This approval represents a significant milestone not only for our company but also for the preservation of Markham's cultural and architectural heritage" Patrick stated, the project is located in the heart of Unionville, Markham's renowned heritage district, a community celebrated for its historic character and architectural legacy. This landmark undertaking has generated substantial attention across the Greater Toronto Area, as the complete roof restoration called upon the expertise of the region's top five commercial and industrial roofing contractors. Each firm was invited to propose a solution that balanced historical preservation with modern innovation, while ensuring the property's legacy could be protected for years to come, while also maintaining its overall authenticity. It was a project that required balancing conventional methods versus up-to-date technology, and the differences within each system of the technology available, while also weighing the overall impact to the current structure and adjustments it may cause to the buildings integrity. There were many things taken into consideration said Patrick. Austin Roofing's proposal, which emphasized the differences in technology with proper site preparation techniques, while remaining sensitive to heritage requirements, was unanimously approved during the City of Markham's council meeting—an achievement that underscores our leadership and reputation within the industry said Patrick. This solidifies the hard work and commitment we put into what we do. It demonstrates leadership, trust, and separation in the industry as to how and why we remain in the forefront. This unanimous decision reflects confidence in our ability to deliver complex restoration projects where precision, compliance, and innovation are paramount. It is the result of treating each project with the same attention to detail and passion, year after year said Patrick. For Austin Roofing, this approval represents more than just another contract, it is an opportunity to demonstrate how innovation and craftsmanship can coexist with cultural preservation. We are honoured to play a critical role in protecting Markham's heritage, and proud to continue setting new standards for roofing excellence across Ontario, Canada. For commercial and industrial roofing systems, think innovation. Think Austin. Austin Roofing & Waterproofing believes in the The Austin Promise, and it's the reason those who choose them, stay with them. Their relationships are defined by the dedication to their cause, to bring Ontario the best in commercial and industrial roofing and waterproofing.

Polar Max Steel Cutting Launches Construction Phase for Canada's Flagship Polar Max Icebreaker Français
LÉVIS, QC, Aug. 20, 2025 /CNW/ - In a historic milestone for the Canadian shipbuilding industry, Davie today officially began construction of the Polar Max icebreaker, a vessel that, once delivered by 2030, will redefine Canada's Arctic capabilities. Uniquely, Polar Max will be constructed through an innovative industrial collaboration between Canadian-controlled facilities in Helsinki, Finland and Lévis, Canada. Construction on the Polar Max hull will begin at Davie's Helsinki Shipyard, which has built 100% of the complex medium to heavy icebreakers delivered from Finland over the past 25 years 1. The largest proportion of the work on the Polar Max, and delivery of the ship to the Canadian Coast Guard, will be from Davie's home facility in Lévis, which is simultaneously undergoing an $840 million upgrade. This will secure Canada's long-term ability to design and build complex ships for current and future Arctic programs. The hybrid build strategy will accelerate the delivery of the ship by several years ahead of the original schedule. It will also bring forward job creation and the transfer of shipbuilding know-how to Canada, while stimulating Canada's maritime supply chain. The Polar Max sets a new standard for Canadian shipbuilding procurement – a smart approach that will deliver major economic and strategic benefits to Québec and Canada. Notable features: Rapid: Construction will begin just five months after contract signature. Disciplined: Fixed-price contract supports on-time delivery and cost benefits. Business boost: $200 million will be invested in small and medium-sized Canadian businesses throughout the Polar Max supply chain. Québec jobs: The creation of thousands of high-value jobs in Lévis, across the province and throughout Canada's marine industry will be accelerated. New partners: Le Groupe ALMACO, a proudly Canadian subsidiary of ALMACO Group, will deliver a major outfitting contract for Polar Max. This collaboration will create jobs, industrial capability, and a first-in-Canada modular cabin factory in Québec. Knowledge transfer: Workforce and expertise exchange with Helsinki Shipyard will directly strengthen future National Shipbuilding Strategy projects. "Today's steel cutting ceremony is more than the start of construction of one very special ship. It's the start of a new chapter in Canadian Arctic leadership," said James Davies, CEO of Davie. "The Polar Max represents how trusted allies can collaborate to deliver strategically vital projects when they are needed most. We want to thank the governments of Canada and Québec for their vision, and we are determined to deliver this ship on time and on budget." "Davie is uniquely positioned to deliver a ship as advanced and strategically important as the Polar Max," said Alex Vicefield, Chairman and CEO of Inocea, Davie's parent group. "With a global footprint, including our soon-to-be upgraded Lévis facility and the renowned Helsinki Shipyard, we combine the world's best polar shipbuilding expertise with the strength, skill and unique Davie spirit of our Canadian workforce." A Canadian shipbuilding solution with global impact The Polar Max icebreaker is a great example of what can be achieved as part of the Icebreaker Collaboration Effort (ICE Pact) — a trilateral initiative between Canada, Finland, and the United States to design and build Arctic and polar icebreakers— and will be the first polar icebreaker to be built collaboratively between Europe and North America. The Polar Max is a production-ready heavy icebreaker designed to operate in some of the world's harshest conditions. The vessel will support Canada's Arctic sovereignty, critical scientific missions, environmental protection efforts, and maritime security. "In an increasingly complex world, Canada's new government is meeting the moment by rebuilding and reinvesting in the Canadian Coast Guard's fleet of icebreakers. Through the National Shipbuilding Strategy, we are transforming how we deliver critical marine infrastructure and equipment, for the benefit of Canadians for generations to come. Working with partners like Chantier Davie and other industry leaders, we are equipping the Coast Guard with modern vessels and cutting-edge technology that will support our Arctic sovereignty and support a stronger Canadian economy for decades ahead." The Honourable Joël Lightbound Minister of Government Transformation, Public Works and Procurement "Today's construction launch marks a major step in Canada's commitment to reinforcing Arctic sovereignty. The Polar Max project will deliver advanced vessels for the Canadian Coast Guard while boosting domestic shipbuilding expertise and strengthening economic and security ties with Finland and Europe." The Honourable Mélanie Joly, Minister of Industry and Minister responsible for Canada Economic Development for Quebec Regions "The construction of Canada's new polar icebreaker marks a historic step in strengthening our Arctic presence, protecting our oceans and supporting the communities that depend on them. Through the National Shipbuilding Strategy, we're building the next generation of Canadian Coast Guard vessels, and bringing together Canadian innovation and international expertise." The Honourable Joanne Thompson, Minister of Fisheries "The National Shipbuilding Strategy is fostering collaboration to strengthen Canada's Arctic security, equipping the Canadian Coast Guard with new icebreakers and developing a skilled domestic workforce. With construction now underway on the Polar Max icebreaker, the project will progress while developing the skills and expertise of Canadian workers. This international collaboration provides our workers with the opportunity to learn best practices and advanced methods that will strengthen Canada's shipbuilding industry for years to come." The Honourable Stephen Fuhr Secretary of State, Defence Procurement "Davie's leadership in the Polar Max project is a powerful driver of economic growth for Québec. This initiative is creating high value-added jobs, while positioning Québec as a hub in shipbuilding and reflecting the strategic importance we place on the Arctic in the 21st century." Christopher Skeete, Minister for the Economy, Government of Québec. " About Davie Based in Québec, Canada since 1825, Davie is a world-class designer and builder of specialist, mission-critical ships such as icebreakers, ferries and warships for government and commercial customers. Davie became a partner in the Government of Canada's National Shipbuilding Strategy on April 4, 2023. This historic agreement is for the design and construction of the largest and most technologically advanced ice-going ships ever constructed in and for Canada. The initial $8.5 billion package of work includes seven heavy icebreakers and two large hybrid-powered ferries. In November 2023, Davie, part of Group Davie, acquired Finland's Helsinki Shipyard, the world leader in icebreaker design and construction. Find out more at and
