From Private-label Infant Formulas to Pediatric Nutritionals, Diabetic Products, and Pharmaceuticals

Paul B. Manning founded PBM Products, LLC, in 1997 and launched the first private-label (store-brand) infant formulas in the $2.8 billion U.S. infant formula category. Since then, PBM Products has been marketing and distributing baby formulas to more than 20,000 retail locations in the United States and throughout the world:

• Canada
• Mexico
• Europe
• China
• Vietnam
• South Africa

Our affiliate company, PBM Nutritionals, LLC, manufactures PBM's infant formula products in the only ISO 9001:2000-certified, infant formula-manufacturing facility in the United States. Our state-of-the-art facility has been manufacturing infant formula for more than 20 years.

In just ten years, we have realigned the infant formula industry by creating what is now a significant segment in North America—private-label infant formulas.

The Introduction of PBM's National Brand Nutritional Products

While achieving phenomenal success with private-label infant formulas and nutritional products, Bright Beginnings Nutritionals, part of the PBM family of companies, began the national distribution of our own brand, Bright Beginnings™, a sensibly priced, DHA/ARA-enriched brand of infant formula in the nation.

In 2003, a major nationwide marketing campaign featuring actress, model, and new mom Brooke Shields supported the launch, and today Bright Beginnings nutritional products are available for distribution throughout the country.

In the wake of the success of Bright Beginnings baby formula, Bright Beginnings Nutritionals now offers a full line of nutritional products, including pediatric drinks, cereals, foods, and supplements.

PBM has also entered the diabetes products market with the introduction of its GlucoBurst™ line of products specially designed to improve the lives of people with diabetes and/or mild hypoglycemia:

• GlucoBurst^® Glucose Gel
• GlucoBurst™ Diabetic Drink
• GlucoBurst™ Glucose Tablets

A portion of the sale of GlucoBurst products are donated to diabetes research. To date PBM has donated several million dollars to diabetes research. For more information, visit PBM's diabetes foundation at www.tocurediabetes.org.
