Gummy USA, SureDose, and Creative Manufacturing are owned and operated by Don Swanson, a recognized innovator in nutraceutical, OTC, and pharmaceutical gummy manufacturing and dosing technology.

Silverman will continue as CEO, and the Company's Board of Directors is expected to include Swanson, Silverman, and Jay Hill, a career technology executive with extensive sales, marketing, corporate development, and board experience.

Advancing Precision Dosing in the Gummy Industry

Swanson brings over eight years of pharmaceutical manufacturing experience, having designed and developed state-of-the-art gummy production facilities both domestically and internationally. His deep understanding of gummy manufacturing equipment led him to identify and address a critical gap in dosing precision and production efficiency. Under his leadership, SureDose has pioneered advancements to significantly improve accuracy, quality, and compliance with gummy industry standards.

The need for greater dosing accuracy in the gummy industry is widely recognized. Current FDA standards require nutraceutical dosing within 10% variance and pharmaceutical dosing within 5% variance. The SureDose process and patent-pending technology can achieve dosing accuracy within 3%-and in some cases, under 1%. This breakthrough could establish a new gold standard in nutraceutical and pharmaceutical gummy production, ensuring higher precision, improved efficacy, and better regulatory alignment.

A Growing Market with Strong Demand

Gummy USA currently serves several significant customers and has active purchase orders, with additional agreements in development as its precision dosing units become available for licensing in select facilities.

"We believe our best-in-class technology can revolutionize the gummy industry by enhancing dosing accuracy and setting new standards for nutraceutical, OTC, and pharmaceutical manufacturers," said Swanson, Chairman and CTO. "We believe that by adopting the SureDose delivery system, companies can ensure superior quality and consistency, ultimately improving the consumer and patient experience."
