INW Bee Health provides a complete food supplement manufacturing service spanning R&D, on-site laboratory testing, production, packaging, and logistics.

Being able to offer a wide range of supplement formats into production for nutrition and health brands is INW Bee Health’s speciality, with manufacturing facilities covering two facilities based in Carnaby, East Yorkshire.  

Softgels

INW Bee Health is one of the UK’s market leaders for soft gels with capacity for the following sizes:

  • 26 Oblong
  • 24 Oblong
  • 20 Oblong
  • 11 Oblong
  • 16 Oval
  • 13 Oval
  • 5 Oval
  • 6 Oval
  • 5 Oval

Production runs can span all these sizes with maximum uptime, ensuring your large-scale orders are fulfillable without long lead times.

We have three soft gel machines, one dedicated to vegan softgels, ensuring a separate manufacturing line.

In most cases, the size and shape of your softgels are determined by how much ingredient is needed per dose. However, some brands choose a larger capsule for aesthetics or to accommodate market norms and customer preferences.

Tablets

We manufacture tablets in most standard sizes. Our sizes include:

  • 11mm Round
  • 13mm Round
  • 14mm Round
  • 5mm Round
  • 5mm Round
  • 9mm Round
  • 16 x 8mm Modified Oval/Breakline
  • 18 x 9mm Modified Oval/Breakline
  • 20 x 10mm Modified Oval/Breakline
  • 22 x 10mm Modified Oval/Breakline

Our tablet machines include two GSP51 machines with large presses and six tabbing machines for small and large production runs.

Smaller tablets are for products that require lower dosages or for consumers who have difficulty swallowing larger pills, while medium tablets strike a balance between ease of swallowing and the ability to contain higher doses of active ingredients.

Larger sizes (16x8mm, 18x9mm, 20x10mm, 22x10mm Modified Oval/Breakline) are most suitable when larger volume of product are needed. The oval shape and breakline make them easier to swallow than round tablets of similar volume.

Capsules

We support the following two-piece capsule sizes:

  • 1
  • 00
  • 00
  • 00EL

Our machines include four automatic and two semi-automated encapsulation machines to accommodate various fill weights.

Two-piece capsules are a popular choice for dry ingredients due to their smooth, elongated shape, which makes them easier for many consumers to swallow than tablets.

You can specify two-piece capsules for multivitamins, weight management products, herbal supplements, analgesics, and more.

Powders

We manufacture proteins, protein blends, pre-workout supplements, amino acid powders, and more for fitness and health brands.

We can produce powders in:

  • Tubs/containers
  • Pouches

Depending on your requirements, we can help develop custom formulas, add flavouring and colouring, and provide samples for your approval.

We then mix, blend, and package your products according to your specifications, ensuring labelling and food packaging regulations compliance.

Our packing hall

Our state-of-the-art 541m2 packing hall has three automated and semi-automated packing lines for tablets, capsules, and softgels. A 4-head counting machine counts specific quantities of tablets, capsules, or other solid dose products to fill bottles/packages.

We have a powder packing machine for loose powders that can handle large-volume pouches and bulk containers. It fills semi-automatically.

Our liquid packaging machine handles liquid packaging and is configurable to support PET and glass bottles of various sizes.

Finally, an inline batcher automatically collates and batches filled/packaged products into larger boxes/cases for distribution.

BRC AA+ certified

We hold BRC AA+ certification, the highest possible certification awarded by the leading global quality assurance body for food safety.

The + symbol means we were awarded the certification following an unannounced audit – making our grade even more impressive.
