At Operio we see the world a little differently. We believe that manufacturing is supported not by machinery vendors or ingredient suppliers rather by the combination of these two. That is why we are assembling a group of multidisciplinary companies to not just supply the food, beverage, nutraceutical and pharmaceutical manufacturing industries but really support them. We understand the unique challenges you as a manufacturer face and we are ready with the experience and expertise to support you.

WHO WE ARE

Launched in 2022 and started from the seeds of LFA Machines and Vivion Inc, Operio was conceived from a simple idea. Our customers do not need machines or ingredients, our customers need to make products. By bringing together the expertise from Vivion and their knowledge of ingredients and LFA and their intimate understanding of the machinery that the ingredients are used in, Operio’s brands are able to not just provide products but really support them through knowledge.

With over 60 years of combined history we have been working to this point for some time.

MISSION

To provide solutions to manufacturers of solid dose products.

VISION

To assemble a group of companies that through strategic synergies enable manufacturers to consistently deliver high quality solid dose products.

VALUES

We are building a community by:

Bettering Ourselves
Having Integrity
Being Supportive
Caring

When looking for new brands we try to find companies with a value structure that closely lines up to ours so that in time we are able to build strong team bonds and full alignment.

LFA MACHINES

LFA Machines was started in 2009, initially focusing on small tablet presses. We took time to identify who our customers would be and how we could best serve them. As we learned about the market and the struggles our customers were facing, we decided that:

LFA Machines’ mission is to become synonymous with the tableting and encapsulation of supplements and confectionery.

While our tablet presses can be used in other industries such as compound pharmacies, chemical manufacturing and pharmaceuticals, we discovered that it was simply impossible for us to be experts in all of them. We have found that by honing our expertise in vitamins, minerals and herbal extracts, we are better able to support our customers who need us the most.
