Rhema was incorporated in 1990 as a custom manufacturer of dry dosage form natural health products. William Horie, Rhema’s sole owner, became passionate about natural health products when supplements cured him of a life-long medical condition. This passion for what natural health products can do to establish and maintain good health is still the guiding principle for Rhema today. Our Mission Statement: To enhance human health by applying integrity, leadership and innovation in nutritional science, and our recent name change from Rhema Industries to Rhema Health Products, is a reflection of our commitment to the health industry.
One of Bill’s early goals was to find the right person to manage Rhema. When he met Charles Redden in 1995, he knew he had found the individual to provide the necessary leadership for Rhema to become an industry leader. Rhema has grown dramatically since Charles became President & CEO by being very responsive to the needs of our customers and the evolution of our industry. Charles recognized that in order to maintain our success and continue to build on it, he needed to assemble a first rate management team with the expertise and knowledge to meet and exceed our customers’ expectations. What began as a modest venture with a handful of staff has grown under Charles’ direction into The Rhema Group of companies with 130 employees. Our Team is a group of ethical, talented individuals who strive to create solutions out of complex problems.
Our growth is reflected in our premises and in our expansion. We moved into our 85,000 square foot facility, which was custom built for our operation, in November 2001. An ongoing monitoring program for such critical systems as air handling, fire suppression, pest control, relative humidity, cleanliness and employee access control, as well as a preventative maintenance program for our equipment, ensures that we meet GMP requirements and optimize our operations. Additionally, we have the capability to double our manufacturing floor space (and much more than double our output). Our warehouse was designed with extra high ceilings and a ‘narrow aisle’ racking layout to maximize efficiency and available space. We are preparing for tomorrow by expanding our services today.
The Rhema Group expanded in 2007 to include Rhema Innovations Limited. Operating out of our Canadian facility as an extension of our product development services, Innovations offers our customers cutting-edge, unique Rhema developed formulas for license or sale under their own label. Rhema will work with regulatory authorities to complete the necessary registration for these products.
We are very appreciative of our success and grateful to be partners in nutritional science with our customers, vendors and service providers. In our dynamic industry, we are not content with the status quo. We are looking to acquire a US contract manufacturer with similar or complementary capabilities to Rhema Canada to continue to improve our capabilities and efficiencies in our Canadian facility and to expand on the services offered by The Rhema Group.
