About Ingex Germany
Ingex Germany GmbH, headquartered in Gräfelfing near Munich, is the European sales and market company of the Indian parent company Ingex Botanicals Ltd. The company supplies standardized, clinically validated botanical extracts (botanicals) for dietary supplements, functional food and beverages, nutricosmetics as well as animal and pet nutrition. Production takes place at the Nelamangala site near Bangalore with a capacity of 1,000 MT of botanical raw materials per month and 100% solar energy. The process portfolio includes green extraction with food-grade ethanol or water, supercritical fluid extraction (SCFE), chromatographic purification, spray, vacuum and fluidized bed drying as well as cGMP formulation and finishing in a Class-100,000 clean room. The value chain ranges from our own cultivation (over 10,000 acres, 5,000+ farm partners in Tamil Nadu and Karnataka) through extraction and analytics to finished product development and EU regulatory consulting. An EU warehouse in Rotterdam enables delivery in Europe within 48–72 hours.

Quality & Certifications
Every batch is tested using HPTLC, HPLC, GC, LC-MS-MS, GC-MS-MS, UV spectroscopy, GC-HS and ELISA for identity, content and purity, including residual solvents, microbiology, aflatoxins, heavy metals and pesticide residues. Species identity is verified morphologically, microscopically, phytochemically and DNA-based, and cross-validated by independent institutes.
