Two Paths

Creating a New Facility or Remodeling One?

Whether you're starting from a blank site or upgrading an existing operation, we've done it before.

Creating a New Facility

You've outgrown your co-packer. The margins don't work anymore. You need to control your own production. Starting fresh gives you the opportunity to design exactly the facility your product requires.

  • Site selection & feasibility analysis
  • Floor plan design from scratch
  • Equipment specification & sourcing
  • Full regulatory pathway planning
  • Build-out management & GC coordination
  • Commissioning & first-run support

Remodeling an Existing Facility

You own or lease a facility that's not operating at its potential. Equipment is aging, lines are inefficient, certifications are lapsed, or you need to expand capacity without a full greenfield build.

  • Operational efficiency audit
  • Equipment upgrade & replacement
  • Compliance & certification updates
  • Line expansion & capacity analysis
  • Production flow redesign
  • Waste reduction & energy optimization

Private Label Development

Turn your new facility into a profit center. We help manufacturers add private label lines, attract contract manufacturing clients, and join the CPA network.

The Team

We've Run These Plants Before

Our team comes from the inside. We've worked at the largest CPG companies in the world — and some of the most innovative startups. We know what a world-class manufacturing facility looks like because we've run them.

That experience is what separates us from a design firm or a general contractor. We've negotiated co-packer contracts, sourced equipment on the spot market, written HACCP plans, managed FDA audits, and trained production floor workers. We don't just design facilities — we understand what happens inside them.
