The Food Manufacturing Hub assists you to take your food idea from fresh ingredient to packaged product. Working with our experienced team, we can take you from proof of concept (POC) through testing to commercial scale production. With a state of the art, manufacturing kitchen facility and a team of highly trained technicians, we can assist you to launch your food business efficiently and profitably. We can work with you to assist in any modifications required to an existing recipe to enable the production on a commercial scale. Of course, your recipe is top-secret – for your peace of mind, we can even provide a confidentiality agreement.
Research and Development
Every great product begins with a great idea. Our team can assist in product development by scaling up your existing recipe or creating a completely original, innovative product for your company.
You will consult with our food technologists and microbiologists who will work along-side your company giving hands-on scientific advice and guidance on your food product and process development. They will help identify the direction of your brand, assist in developing new product offerings, and how to scale up to production run quantities.
We will assist you to transition ‘in-house kitchen’ products to larger commercial-scale production meeting your wholesale or retail objectives. So as your business grows, we can increase our production output for you.
We also offer smaller minimum order quantities, to help you test and trial your product and ensure it is viable for your target market.
