Our Services and Capabilities

We have been developing and manufacturing personal care products for over 30 years and during this time have built up a large catalogue of formulations and a wealth of experience.

New customers can be offered our existing formulations, or these can be adjusted or ‘tweaked’ to suit their specific needs and requirements, to fit in with current personal care trends, for example parabens-free products.

We are very happy to take on New Product Development and work with the customer to bring new products to market. Personal care manufacture can broadly be split into two types, hot process/high shear manufacture, and cold blending manufacture.

Our manufacturing plant is as follows:

Hot process/high shear manufacture.

We have 2 X 1000 litre manufacturing vessels with heating/cooling jackets, contra-rotating stirrers and bottom entry homogenisers in which we manufacture the following products:

  • Creams and lotions – moisturising, anti-ageing, anti-acne, hand and body creams etc
  • Scrubs – facial scrubs, body scrubs, foot scrubs

In-house filling of our products

All of the above products (and more) can be filled on our 5 bottle and jar filling lines (including one hot fill line) with high-speed automatic labelling machines and we can fill containers from 10ml up to 5000ml. We also have a Norden tube filling line and can fill most sizes of tubes including laminate toothpaste tubes.

Minimum batch and fill quantities

Depending upon the type of product our minimum batch quantities are usually 250 or 500 litres, and our minimum filling runs are usually 2000 units providing this meets the minimum batch quantity.

Fill only – contract filling

We offer a fill-only service where customers supply their bulk product and packaging and we fill and pack off to their specification.

Bulk manufacture only

We offer a bulk manufacture only service where we produce bulk product and fill into 1000 litre IBCs or 200 litre kegs for customers to fill themselves.

Packaging

We can offer customers our own stock bottles and jars, or we can assist customers to select their own packaging from the many packaging manufacturers and stockists that we deal with. Likewise with labels, we can use our approved printers to produce customer’s labels from their artwork if required.
