Partnership instead of a one-time service in the production of dietary supplements

People are behind quality

Even the best-designed quality systems do not function without competent teams. Experienced technologists, operators and specialists are responsible for the proper functioning of processes, effective response to challenges and real customer support. Their knowledge, commitment and responsibility determine whether the systems work in practice and not just on paper.

A professional contract manufacturer has not only adequate production infrastructure, but also logistics and warehouse facilities. Own warehouse allows full control over material and product management. Storage in external warehouses is also allowed, but this is a less flexible solution in terms of production planning, especially in case of unexpected changes in the production plan. A specialized logistics team ensures efficient handling of shipments, including export. Of course, we can also take advantage of the handling of shipments by large courier companies. However, remember that for the production of dietary supplements, quite exotic ingredients are used, such as plant extracts, zoonotic products, materials from third countries. In such cases, logistics experience and knowledge of the specifics of the market are crucial. Similarly, in the case of the search for active ingredients for dietary supplements, where the purchasing team must orient itself in the product specificity, analyze and possibly reject offers of low-quality products.  

There are also ready-made supplements on the market with the most popular ingredients, for example, multivitamin tablets, soft capsules with fish oils, etc. When purchasing such products, especially from Asia, the principle of limited trust should be applied to the certificates presented by the manufacturer. It is recommended that each parameter on the specification be confirmed by an independent European laboratory, at least for the first few orders. It also happens that the importer offers goods from many different suppliers, hiding this information from us. This may cause differences in quality between product batches.

Collaboration model based on understanding needs

The choice of a contractual partner should be preceded by a precise definition of your own needs, values and expectations. It is crucial to take a holistic view of the offer - taking into account not only the cost of production, but also the terms of cooperation, communication, flexibility and awareness of the risks associated with the change of manufacturer. In many foreign markets, dietary supplements are subject to demanding and lengthy registration. Often, changes after registration are lengthy or even impossible. The right partnership minimizes operational risks and allows you to build business stability. The role of a CMO is more than the execution of a single order. A modern CMO is a partner focused on the realization of the client's goals. It offers flexibility, proposes solutions, analyzes risks and actively supports projects at the conceptual stage. Knowledge of food and regulatory rules in the EU, dosage recommendations, legal and technological analysis are elements that significantly increase the value of cooperation. The production of dietary supplements is a complex process both technologically and in terms of regulation.

Trusted and proven quality

Understanding the market, sharing knowledge and experience are the characteristics that distinguish the best contract partners. Attendance at trade fairs, trainings and industry events allows you to keep abreast of trends and regulations, which translates into better customer support and higher quality of projects. The best contract manufacturer is a certified, responsible and committed partner that offers more than the minimum. It is an organization focused on long-term relationship, joint development and real customer support at every stage of cooperation. Today, running a business is constantly facing many factors, in just the last 15 years there has been a world crisis, war activities, an epidemic. In such conditions, a true partnership acquires exceptional value — it gives support in critical moments.
