Setting the Standard for Safe, High-Quality Kratom Products
Kratom Industry Leader Partners with InstantGMP, Inc. to Help Manufacturers Follow Best Practices
Washington, D.C. July 9, 2018 — As part of its commitment to setting high industry standards to protect millions of American consumers who benefit from Kratom to manage their own well-being, the Kratom Trade Association (KTA) is partnering with InstantGMP, Inc. to provide its members with education and resources to manage their products, streamline manufacturing, and improve overall product quality and consistency in adherence to good manufacturing practices (GMPs).

To provide consumers with safe, high-quality products, KTA requires its members to adhere to a strict set of principles, sets product testing protocols exceeding GMP guidelines, and assists manufacturers in obtaining GMP facilities certifications.
InstantGMP, Inc. offers the InstantGMP™ MES software solution that helps companies simplify production processes by integrating, organizing, and managing all of their operations in one system.
