Flora Manufacturing and Distributing Ltd., established in 1965 and headquartered in Burnaby, BC, is a privately owned nutraceutical manufacturer known for high quality whole food supplements, full-spectrum botanical extracts, unrefined seed oils, and European health tonics. With headquarters for the US market in Lynden, WA., and distribution in many countries all over the world, Flora has now expanded to become one of North America’s premier nutraceutical manufacturers.
Both Flora Manufacturing and Distributing Ltd. (international and Canadian headquarters) and Flora Inc. (United States headquarters) house their administrative, manufacturing, quality control, and distribution functions in state-of-the-art facilities, which together encompass over 60,000 square feet.
Flora is wholly owned and operated by Thomas Greither, a third-generation health entrepreneur, who follows in the footsteps of his famous grandfather, Mr. Otto Greither, founder of world-famous Salus Haus in Germany in 1916; and in the footsteps of his father, Mr. Otto Greither, Jr., who turned Salus Haus into one of the most respected manufacturers of elite quality liquid tonics, medicinal teas, tinctures, and tablets in the world.
Flora has grown from its initial roots, as a distributor of European herbal remedies, into a multinational company adhering to high standards for raw material selection, formulation, manufacturing, quality control, and ecological awareness.
Flora utilizes a strict set of standards in the selection of raw materials for all products—from botanical medicines containing standardized or full-spectrum extracts, to herbal teas, to unrefined seed oils, and to nutrient powders. Flora firmly believes that quality begins at this initial stage and invests heavily in either purchasing or growing the highest grade of raw materials. More specifically, Flora employs stringent screening and testing procedures for the two categories of raw materials used—agricultural raw materials and nonagricultural raw materials.
The Quality Control Department inspects each shipment of herbs, and tests are performed to ensure all plant material and finished product meets their specifications for quality. Physical identification, microbial, heavy metal, and pesticide residue standards, as well as active ingredient levels, must all be met using the most advanced analytical methods and equipment.
All Flora formulations utilize the following quality-intensive attributes:
