LAS VEGAS February 20, 2008 – Nutri Pharmaceuticals Research, Inc. (NPRI) announced today that it has initiated installation of a new, state-of-the-art, continuous-feed production line at its world-wide production facility in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA. According to NPRI chairman and chief executive officer, Mr. Godfrey Yew, “Continuing growth in our core nutraceutical business, along with anticipated volume in meeting the needs of our bakery, dairy, confectionary, meal replacement and other powder drink mix customers with our expanding line of fortified chocolate and other cocoa-based compounds, has created the need for this expansion.”

According to the company, the continuous-feed system will augment two existing 500kg and 1,200kg batch machines and a small, pilot-run machine already in use. Mr. Yew stated he anticipates final installation and certification by April, 2008. In late 2006, the company relocated its worldwide headquarters and manufacturing facility into a newer, 32,000 sq. ft. facility in the Hughes Corporate Center, a free-trade zone located adjacent to McCarran International Airport.
