Our Capabilities

We’ve been in the business a long time - since 1947, actually. So our team has the knowledge and expertise to bring products to market that reflect the brand you want to launch. We work on cosmetic, natural health contract manufacturing and private label projects.

We produce at the highest standards in the industry; cGMP, US OTC and Dietary Supplements, NHP, Animal Natural Health Products and C-TPAT accredited.

  • This step is all about creativity, innovation and sense of adventure. Whether you know exactly what ingredients you’d like to use or have a small idea and want to experiment, our team has the experience to bring your ideas to market.

    We make sure your products contain the best ingredients, are safe, and perform in accordance with your brand’s marketing. We also offer technology transfer, stability testing, and compatibility testing in your packaging of choice and focus group samples.

    Our team will develop and propose a number of prototypes for your evaluation. Once approved by your team, detailed manufacturing protocol is drafted and a scale-up batch will be proposed.

  • Our production capacity ranges from 20 to 8,000 kg per batch. We manufacture products of all textures: liquids, creams, lotions, milks, gels, salts, and ointments. We also offer hot fill.

    Our tanks are equipped with heating and cooling systems as well as several types of agitators. The manufacturing room is equipped with a water purification system that offers different grades of water including USP grade for NHP and OTC products.

    We offer cold-process technology to manufacture creams without the use of heat to maintain the highest efficacy of ingredients while minimizing your carbon footprint.

  • Our packaging department operates 8 filling lines that range from semi-automatic to fully automatic. The semi-automatic lines can be fully customized to your brand packaging needs, each of them with a filling range of 5,000 to 17,000 units per working shift.

    We offer turnkey packaging capabilities ranging from jars, bottles, packets, pouches, sachets, sample vials, tubing, capping, labelling, coding, hot-fill packaging and shrink wrapping.

  • Multifaceted systematic monitoring from raw material sourcing, packaging to finished product.

    Stringent quality control confirms ingredient consistency and purity, component conformity and product compliance. We follow Good Manufacturing Practices (cGMP) and industry regulations for safety and efficacy.

    Testing includes stability, microbiological and chemical analysis as well as sensory assessments.
