Vitaquest Gets Flexibility, Scalability From Mobile Powder Conveyors

The contract manufacturer of nutraceuticals and functional foods typically opts for vacuum conveyor technology. The mobile version maximizes production versatility, making cleaning and changeovers easier.

There’s rarely an argument about the services a contract manufacturer/packager can offer when it comes to things like helping an emerging brand get started with manufacturing or helping an established brand launch a new product. But co-mans/co-packs have also become the centerpiece for innovation for a lot of brands, according to Ron Puvak, executive director of the Contract Packaging Association (CPA). He notes a Fortune 100 brand that has about 35% of its production run through a co-man—and 85% of its innovation.
