Nima Partners with Global Allergy Leader ALK for European Distribution
Today, Nima, the pioneer in connected food sensors, announces their partnership with global allergy leader, ALK, for European distribution of its portable gluten sensor. ALK handpicked Nima based on the science and validation behind its sensors and the rigor to which it tests and builds its products.
ALK is a research-driven, global pharmaceutical company focusing on allergy prevention, diagnosis and treatment for close to 100 years. They are the foremost innovators in allergy immunotherapy, a unique treatment which reduces allergic symptoms and treats the cause of the allergy. Since its inception, ALK has been working to improve quality of life for allergy patients.
The Nima Gluten Sensor is now available from ALK’s new direct-to-consumer site, klarify.me. This partnership is the major first step in Nima’s international channel expansion. The Gluten Sensor is now available in Germany and will be available in the United Kingdom next month.
For the millions of people around the world with food allergies, eating foods they haven’t prepared themselves can be incredibly dangerous and nerve wracking. Nima hopes to relieve some of the anxiety that comes with eating out. The Nima Gluten Sensor is a quick and portable device that tests for the presence of the gluten proteins that cause allergic reactions. Early this month, Nima also launched its Peanut Sensor in the U.S.
“Nima is the leader in portable allergy testing,” said Mads Lacoppidan, Head of Consumer Care Division at ALK. “We are incredibly impressed with the Nima Gluten Sensor and are proud to add it to our curated portfolio of allergy related products on klarify.me. Nima has put their sensors through rigorous testing and have achieved astounding results representing its accuracy and reliability clearly evidenced by scientific data which is now published in peer-reviewed journals.”
“More than 15 million people in the United States are battling food allergies and there are even more worldwide,” said Shireen Yates, CEO and co-founder of Nima. “We are so eager to get this device into the hands of more people around the world to help them make more informed decisions about what they eat.”
