The addition of Chinese increases the list of available languages to six, including English, Spanish, French, Portuguese, and German which were all launched with the newly redesigned Website in April 2005.
The nutrition industry worldwide has grown by more than 15% in the past three years totaling about $210 billion dollars (€ 161 billion). The market in China is growing just as fast, if not faster, accounting for about $9 billion dollars (€ 6.9 billion). It was because of this growing market and the potential for new fortification opportunities that spurred the initiative to add Chinese to the Website.
"Having the ability to reach out even further to potential customers and our existing clients definitely sets Fortitech apart from our competition,” said Rich Schleif, Fortitech, Inc.'s director of marketing. "The addition of the Chinese language diversifies our new business potential and opens doors to a region that has been experiencing a fast-growing market for fortification. Adding Chinese also establishes.
