Home › Pilot manufacturing

Your first production line, run by our team.

We design your line, run it in a dedicated production bay and ship to your customers, with low or no minimum order.

⬣ WHO IT IS FOR

For teams that need pilot production done for them.

Contract manufacturers are set up for large, repeat orders, not for developing a new line. Few providers offer the workflow in between.

We build that line with you and run it.

01

Production line development

We design, set up and refine your first production line before you commit to a plant or a large manufacturer.

02

Material for supplier testing

Consistent batches for suppliers, partners and application testing, made the way you will make it at scale.

03

Saleable materials

Short production runs of finished product for your first customers, with low or no minimum order.

Pilot manufacturing FAQ

Pilot manufacturing is the stage where your first production line takes shape. We design the line with you, run it in a dedicated production bay and make material for supplier testing and saleable product for your first customers, with low or no minimum order.

Liquids and dry powders, filled into bottles, jars, pouches or stick packs. Tell us your format and we will confirm.

There is no fixed minimum. Run size is set in the scope for each product, so you can make what you need for launch without committing to a large manufacturer’s minimum order.

No. We help you choose equipment that fits your product and volumes, and prove the process on small amounts of material before anything is bought or scaled.

We prepare the process documentation so you can transfer production to a larger manufacturing partner.

Yes. Inputs and finished product are stored in our warehouse, with a loading dock for receiving and shipping, and we ship to you or directly to your customers.
