Icelandirect Acquires SOMA LABS

by Shari Barbanel | March 18, 2026

icelandirect_logoIcelandirect, LLC (Clifton, NJ), a portfolio company of New Heritage Capital, has acquired SOMA LABS, a New Jersey-based supplement manufacturer specializing in solid dosage form production. The transaction closed in February 2026.  The acquisition is a direct investment in capability—expanding what Icelandirect can build, manufacture, and deliver for its clients across both the human nutrition and pet supplement markets, according to the company.

“For years, we have been known as a leader in lipid and soft gel supplement sourcing, formulation, manufacturing and packaging,” said Brandon Miller, CEO of Icelandirect.  “The acquisition of SOMA LABS will allow us to add powder, tablet, capsule and chewable capabilities, thus delivering a turnkey product offering to our clients.  These new offerings allow us to take a brand from ingredient and formula all the way through to finished, shelf-ready product—in more formats, at greater scale, and with the quality standards our customers have come to expect from Icelandirect.”

In addition to Icelandirect’s existing manufacturing depth in lipids and soft gels, the SOMA Labs acquisition allows it to now offer clients four expanded dosage form capabilities:

  • Powders: Custom blending and filling for both the human and pet markets with flexible packaging formats from stick pack through bulk pouch
  • Capsules:  Hard-shell capsule production for human and pet formulations, supporting a wide range of fill types including powders, beadlets and oils
  • Tablets:  Compressed tablet production with precision dosing for human nutraceutical and wellness brands
  • Human and Pet Chewables:  Chewable tablets for the human and pet supplements markets, offering brands a palatable, functional and convenient alternative to traditional capsules and tablets

SOMA LABS will operate as an integrated division of Icelandirect, with its New Jersey facility remaining fully operational. Leadership and technical teams are integrating into the broader Icelandirect organization to ensure seamless alignment across quality systems, supply chain operations, and customer service functions. Existing SOMA LABS customers will benefit from continuity of service alongside access to Icelandirect’s expanded capabilities and resources.
