Capabilities

What we make — and how we make it.

Three production lines under one certified roof: powder blending, cold-extrusion bars and chocolate enrobing. It’s a combination few South African co-manufacturers offer, and it means a brand owner can develop an entire range in one place, with one team accountable for the result.

Line 01

Powder blending

Whey and plant proteins, pre-workouts, meal replacements, collagen blends, everyday wellness powders. We blend to your formulation and fill to your format — tubs, sachets or bulk — with batch records behind every run. If the formulation needs work before it’s manufacturable, we’ll tell you, and we’ll help fix it.

Cold-extrusion bars

Our bars are formed cold, not baked. That matters if your formulation carries probiotics, enzymes or heat-sensitive actives — cold extrusion means what you formulated is what your customer eats. Protein bars, energy bars, functional bars; naked, drizzled or fully coated on the in-house enrobing line.

Chocolate enrobing

The difference between a bar and a product people photograph is usually the coating. Our enrobing line applies full or partial coverage in real chocolate, tempered and set to a retail-standard finish. Paired with the bar line, it means coated products never leave the building between forming and wrapping.

Finishing

Packed, wrapped, shelf-ready.

Flow-wrapped bars, sealed tubs, sachets and cartons — finished to your artwork and ready for the shelf, the courier or the export container. One roof, no handoffs, no finger-pointing between suppliers.

The process

From brief to shelf, step by step.

01

Scope & NDA

A call to understand the product, the volumes you’re planning and the retailers you’re chasing. Before anything sensitive changes hands, a mutual NDA is signed — protection that runs both ways.

02

Development & sampling

We turn the concept into a manufacturable, compliant, cost-aware formulation, and sample it until you’d put your name on it. Because you’re about to.

03

Compliance & certification

Labelling, claims and food-safety compliance handled inside an independently certified facility — so your listing conversations are shorter.

04

Production

First run scheduled, batch-recorded and quality-checked by people, not just machines.

05

Deliver & repeat

Shelf-ready product, on time, run after run. The reorder is where a manufacturer proves itself.

Quality & certifications

Certified where it counts.

These aren’t logos on a footer; they’re the audits we pass so your buyers don’t have to ask twice.

✓

FSSC 22000

The food-safety certification global retailers recognise — GFSI-benchmarked and independently audited.

✓

HACCP

Hazard controls audited at every critical point — embedded across every line, not bolted on.

✓

Halaal

Certified — opening the full market at home and in key export channels.

Turnkey full-supply, or toll manufacturing with your free-issued materials — the relationship can start either way and change as you grow.

Capacity

Sized around your growth.

First runs are sized so a new brand can get to market without betting the house; established brands get volumes that hold national listings. We plan capacity around your forecast — not the other way around.
