We hold stock on four continents, produce in accredited sites and have your approval documents ready.
You're approving a new supplier and you need proof they're reliable
An existing supplier has let you down on quality, continuity or lead time
A cost of goods target has landed with you, and it has to come from the ingredient line
You've grown past what your current supplier can reliably deliver
You rely on one supplier for a key ingredient and want a second option
Someone's asked you to source a fermented base, and you need to know what good looks like
Steady supply, a cost you can plan with and the documents for your approved supplier file.
The comparison depends on what you're replacing.
Against in-house fermentationYou can remove tank capacity, utilities, labour, trial batches and the cost of failed batches, and take on a known cost per unit instead.
Against another base supplierThe comparison is per unit, plus lead time, plus what a stockout costs you. Local warehousing is usually where the difference sits.
Against buying a finished productYou gain recipe control and margin, and take on the blending and packing.
We'll give you the numbers to run a comparison.

An established brand already buying a base was losing margin. It found the saving in its supply, without changing the recipe.
Read the case studyYou can ask for the supplier documentation set and open a file on us before committing to anything.
