Sourcing + Contract Manufacturing

When we talk about sourcing and contract manufacturing, we’re talking about how you bring your product to market. Where do you source your ingredients? What does the manufacturing process look like? Kurt has built his entire career around helping businesses like yours navigate and excel when it comes to contract manufacturing and ingredient sourcing.

If you’re a small, successful business asking yourself, “Okay…what next?” then you would likely benefit from Kurt’s sourcing and contract manufacturing expertise. You could be a small business operating out of your home but need to expand to the next size. Commercial Kitchens are a great way to slowly scale-up your production process without a major investment in equipment or manufacturing site. Maybe you are already in a Commercial Kitchen and are ready to go into larger-scale manufacturing. This is where contract manufacturers can be a great option. Perhaps you’ve outgrowing your current contract manufacturer and are prepared to take the next step. Maybe you’re ready to outsource one of your internal systems. When you’re able and willing to drive your business to the next level, Kurt is the consultant you want in your corner.

This is a question we get asked at the start of almost every project. Unfortunately, there are no nationwide publications or websites that list every contract manufacturer out there. While some companies strictly do contract manufacturing only, there are an abundance of manufacturing companies that will rent out a portion of their capacity for contract manufacturing. Finding the right fit for your product takes a combination of experience knowing all the potential contract manufacturing options as well as how to position your product to be ready to be presented to a contract manufacturer.

Throughout the course of his career, Kurt has made countless connections in the contract manufacturing world. Allow Kurt to leverage his expertise and connections to find the right contract manufacturer for your business. Kurt will help you find a contract manufacturer that meets your requirements for size, production speed, and cost.

As a Brand Owner, YOU are ultimately responsible for the product on the store shelves, even if someone else is manufacturing it for you. The relationship you have with this manufacturer can spell the difference between getting your target product on the store shelves on time, every time versus missed shipments, poor quality or even pricing changes mid-stream. Communication is the key, and Kurt’s 30+ years of experience working on both sides of the equation can help you find that perfect match.
