IN Ingredients, formerly Integrity Nutraceuticals, was founded by Tim Romero and Lloyd Slabach in 1999. The company was formed based on the premise of Integrity. The founders were and are committed to operating a business that would honor God while serving others. Adopting the Biblical principle of the “Golden Rule”, to treat others as you wish to be treated, our vision was to be a raw material supplier dedicated to integrity, quality, dependability and service. Gus Romero joined the team in 2002 to lead the sales and marketing efforts for the company. CFO, Dan Hershberger joined the ownership team in 2006 and Peter Miller in 2009.

In early 2009, after a successful number of years with Integrity Mr. Slabach retired from the business. CEO, Tim Romero decided to move the company into a manufacturing direction and leaned on industry expert Peter Miller to lead the cause. Mr. Miller, then Director of Research and Development became owner and Vice President of Sales and Innovation.

Explosive growth and extensive systems implementation led all resources to the manufacturing venture. After evaluation of the business in mid-2013, the owners of Integrity decide it was best for two owners to devote their time to the ingredients division to further growth and capitalize on the IP portfolio that existed and continues to build. Tim Romero and Gus Romero were up for the challenge and so in September of 2013 they launched on an ingredients venture entitling it IN Ingredients. It’s the same vision and strategy with a new name and a facelift.
