aXichem AB (publ), (aXichem), which develops natural analogue feed additives and dietary supplement ingredients, announces a further delivery of three tonnes of aXiphen® ruminant (phenylcapsaicin) to Tecnobeef, a leading Brazilian precision nutrition company serving the livestock farming industry. The delivery is made from the local stock of aXichem’s distributor Chr. Olesen.
Deliveries of aXiphen® ruminant started in May this year, with the first six-tonne shipment delivered to Tecnobeef. Tecnobeef has begun using the product in its formulations, and with the present delivery the total volume delivered to Tecnobeef is nine tonnes.
Under aXichem's commercial model in Brazil, product is shipped from Sweden to aXichem’s distributor, Chr. Olesen, which holds stock locally and supplies Brazilian end-customers directly. Deliveries to Tecnobeef are made from that local stock. As previously communicated, an order with delivery during the fourth quarter is in place to supply continued demand in the Brazilian market.
Lucas Altepost, Deputy Managing Director and VP Sales & Marketing at aXichem, comments:
“It is positive that Tecnobeef continues with aXiphen® ruminant and is now taking a further three tonnes. This is the type of development we aim to achieve in Brazil, where customers begin using aXiphen®, experience its benefits, and continue to incorporate it into their operations. Together with the order for delivery in the fourth quarter, we have the volume in place to supply the market.”

About phenylcapsaicin and aXiphen®
The health benefits of chili, with its active ingredient capsaicin, have been known for centuries. aXichem's proprietary molecule, phenylcapsaicin, combines the naturally occurring phenyl group with capsaicin, bridged by a triple bond. The result is an innovative natural analogue of capsaicin with high purity, where the pungency is greatly reduced.
aXiphen® (phenylcapsaicin) is approved and registered in Brazil as a feed additive for use in feed for poultry, pigs and ruminants.
