NSF, a global public health and safety organization, announced its successful acquisition of Cambium Analytica, an Traverse City-based analytical testing and development company serving the natural food, beverage and dietary supplement industries.

"The dietary supplement and food testing and development businesses are poised for explosive growth, fueled by evolving consumer priorities around health and wellness, the rise of food as medicine, product development and innovation and evolving regulations—all of which are continuously shaping and reshaping the industry that feeds and nourishes the global population," NSF says in a statement about the acquisition.

"With the addition of Cambium Analytica, NSF is now positioned to more fully meet the accelerating demands of clients resulting from these macrotrends, providing clients with access to integrated, best-in-class solutions at scale. This enables companies to grow demand for natural food, beverage and supplement products while ensuring safety and quality, particularly in those seeking to innovate in these industries."

At this time, Cambium Analytica will be renamed Cambium Analytica, an NSF company, and its 69 employees will continue to operate out of its Traverse City headquarters.
