MUNDELEIN, Ill., Nov. 12, 2012 /PRNewswire/ -- Z Trim Holdings, Inc. (OTC Markets: ZTHO – News), a bio-technology company providing value-added ingredients to a variety of industries, today announced that its toll manufacturer, Aveka Nutra Processing ("ANP"), has begun producing products for Z Trim Holdings, Inc.

Kyle Hanah, ZTH's VP of Technology, said, "This is great news for all of our customers, existing and new. With ANP now on-line, we feel confident we can fulfill all their current needs and continue to grow as they implement Z Trim ingredients into more of their product categories. Our sales and distributor teams can now be empowered to take on the whole marketplace and really show how Z Trim Ingredients can help manufacturers make better finished products at lower costs."

Dr. Willie Hendrickson, founder and CEO of ANP, stated, "This is a great accomplishment for both ANP and ZTH. We know that ZTH has technologies and products that are truly unique, and we are happy to be in a position to help them grow their business. The sky is the limit."
