We Built BumbleBar. Founded CleanCopack. Formulated for Dozens of Brands. Now We Are in Your Corner.
Our CPG manufacturing consulting expertise comes from real-world experience. BumbleBar was the first multi-million dollar certified organic snack bar brands in the US—self-manufactured from day one. That facility evolved into CleanCopack, SQF-certified for Human Food, Pet Food, and Supplements. Whether your path is self-manufacturing or co-packing, our CPG manufacturing consulting services are here to help you flourish.

The Challenge
CPG Manufacturing Consulting for Scaling Brands at a Crossroads
Whether you are launching your first product, stuck in co-packer limbo, or struggling with the growing pains of self-manufacturing, the path forward is rarely clear.
Co-Packer Dependency
Margins shrinking with every price increase. Quality inconsistencies. MOQs that block innovation. You have outgrown the model but feel trapped.
Self-Manufacturing Uncertainty
The economics look compelling, but the path is intimidating. Equipment, facilities, compliance, hiring—where do you even start?
Operational Growing Pains
You made the leap to self-manufacturing, but now you are drowning in daily fires. Systems that worked at low volume are breaking down.
