Our Dedication to Quality & The Processes We Uphold

INW Bee Health is committed to upholding and surpassing industry standards for Vitamin, Mineral and supplement manufacturing.

We hold multiple ISO and industry accreditations that verify our facilities and processes meet global standards for food safety, quality, and operational requirements, such as the coveted BRCGS AA+ food safety standard.

Ensuring the quality and safety of products during storage and distribution throughout the supply chain is paramount. Many of our measures have improved the standards set out by the EFSA and FSA.

For you, our customer, your products are safely manufactured, handled, packaged, and distributed. Peace of mind over safety and quality are guaranteed when you work with INW Bee Health.

Join us below to discover more about our quality.

ISO 9001

Our ISO 9001 certification demonstrates our comprehensive quality management system meets international standards across all operations.

This framework ensures consistent quality control throughout manufacturing, from raw material testing to finished product analysis.

A Dependable Manufacturer: An Overview of Our Services

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.

Transparent manufacturing

Our transparent manufacturing process gives you complete visibility:

We provide comprehensive documentation for each production batch
Our facilities are open for client audits and inspections
We offer real-time updates on production status and quality control checks
We offer detailed descriptions of our manufacturing processes
You can request information on specific production methods and quality control measures

You’ll know what’s in your supplements, how they’re made, and their environmental footprint. We provide detailed certificates of analysis, offer insights into our production methods, and calculate the ecological impact of each product line.

Summing up

INW Bee Health offers global manufacturing capabilities and is a dependable supplier to many of the world’s leading pharmaceutical and nutritional brands.

We invest in the latest technologies and industry expertise to produce nutritional supplements, from powders and capsules to softgels and liquids, in facilities that hold the highest food standard certifications.

Our ability to scale production and adapt to regional regulations makes us your perfect partner, whether you are a global brand or an emerging company looking to expand your reach. Contact us to find out more.

INW Bee Health: Our Soft Gel Manufacturing Services

INW Bee Health is a leading UK manufacturer of soft gels for dietary supplements, including fish oil and omega-3 capsules.

A recent £1M investment in soft gel production at INW Bee Health enhanced production capacity by over 50% for batch sizes over a million.

Separate bovine and vegan soft gel production lines include separate drying tunnels and strict food manufacturing processes for vegan certification.

As a contract manufacturer to the health industry, we produce millions of soft gels yearly for popular health brands and own-label product lines.

Leaders in soft gels

INW’s leadership in soft gel spans capacity and quality, with BRCGS AA+ grading, having first invested in UK soft gel manufacturing in 2015.

Recent upgrades to the INW Bee Health plant, which includes new machinery for grading, sorting, and polishing, have primarily focused on automation.

The goods-out process, previously manual, has been fully automated to improve efficiency and consistency in the production process.

With direct processing capabilities, a new drying tunnel specifically for vegan soft gels, and a dedicated room for blending vegan materials, INW’s manufacturing capacity has expanded for the growing vegan and vegetarian markets.

Large-scale capacity

INW Bee Health supports soft gel production for more than 1,000,000 units, with 24/5 and the packing hall supporting 300k units per week.

Depending upon the formulation or size of bespoke softgel products (bovine and vegan varieties), Our MOQS range from 500K – 1M quantities. Oval and oblong soft gel manufacturing is supported, from sizes 20 oblong to 26 oblong, and 5 to 16 ovals, to support all product requirements.

£1M soft gel investment

2024’s £1M investment in the INW Bee Health soft gel facility sees vegan soft gel manufacturing made possible for the first time, with a dedicated room for preparing, filling, processing, and packing vegan capsules.

Vegan soft gel capsule material is blended and processed directly to the machine, ensuring zero possibility of contamination, with automation for maximum uptime.

Vegan Facility Now operational

Accreditations

Soft gel manufacturing capacity is one thing, but what if you want your products certified organic, vegan, or halal?

INW has that covered, too.

A few accreditation highlights:

BRCGS AA+ is the top global standard for evaluating supply chains across food safety, packaging, storage, distribution, consumer products and ethical trade practices.
ISO 9001, for quality management.
ISO 45001, for occupational health and safety.
Kosher
Halal
FDA Registration
Informed-Sport
Organic: Soil Association

These accreditations ensure the safe handling of your products to meet strict standards for resale in the UK, EU, US, and the rest of the world.

Soft gel supplements

INW Bee Health produces soft gel fish oil and Omega-3 fatty acids, oil-based multivitamins, vitamin D, vitamin E and plant-based oils, such as flaxseed and evening primrose oil, as a white label contract manufacturer.

Bovine versions are the most popular, but introducing vegan soft gel facilities brings new market possibilities to clients offering plant-based supplements.

Health and supplement brands offering hardshell capsules and tablets can provide soft gel alongside these delivery systems.

The body easily absorbs the liquid or oil-based contents in the soft gel compared to powder or tablet forms, and the size and shape of the soft gel—e.g., oval or oblong—impacts absorption time and makes it easier or harder to swallow.

Soft gel packing facilities

INW doesn’t just manufacture soft gel capsules – it packs them, too.

The packing hall is 541m2 and can pack up to 300k units per week, including PET and glass bottles. Seamless collaboration with speciality packaging printers for custom labels ensures clients receive retail-ready soft gel products.

INW provides a way for companies to run efficient nutrition brands and produce own-label goods with quality, certification, and packing handled by experts.

New products and innovation

INW’s pharmacologists, chemists, and research scientists formulate new nutritional products for soft gel to assist ambitious brands with market penetration.

The dedicated new product development department has full laboratory capabilities, providing complete research solutions for your brand.

To reduce your product development costs, you can order bespoke formulations, such as vitamin and mineral combinations, or harness in-house innovation with multiple off-the-shelf supplements, including oil-based vitamins like Vitamin D3 2000iu.

Product innovation suggestions ensure your health supplement brand has in-market knowledge of the latest products ahead of competitors. You can also get the first opportunity on available stock to meet market demand.

Summing up

INW Bee Health is your one-stop shop for soft gel manufacturing, with £1M invested in soft gel expansion in 2024.

Bovine and vegan soft gel production for oil-based vitamins and minerals and emerging health foods like propolis give you a market advantage.

Add our new product development lab, and we will become a full-service innovation partner to empower your future product lines.

Our spacious 541m2 packing hall operates 24 hours a day, 5 days a week, and can ramp up to 24/7 operations during peak periods to package up to 300,000 units per week across various packaging formats, including bottles (PET and glass), flat packs, and pouches to suit all your nutritional products.

Access to local print shops ensures a one-stop solution for custom labels, cartons, and other components tailored to your product line’s unique branding.

Our quality control process includes a Certificate of Analysis before distribution to validate outgoing products for safety.

The result of all this is that you can be confident that products packaged at our facilities adhere to the strictest benchmarks.

We can quickly scale up packaging operations in lockstep with your increasing production needs, and our multi-site footprint spanning the UK, US, and other regions also mitigates supply chain risks to maintain continuity.

The COVID-19 pandemic is a prime example of our supply chain’s strength. While other manufacturers closed up shop, we kept going to keep nutritional brands going and capitalise on more people spending time at home.

Once a promising innovative product is developed, our production facilities ensure it reaches customers quickly while maintaining uncompromising quality standards.

No other supplier offers such impressive packing capabilities with support for PET and glass bottles, flat packs, and pouches to suit all delivery formats.

BRCGS accredited

Quality and safety are paramount in the nutritional products industry, and that’s why INW has achieved the highest possible distinction: BRCGS AA+ certification grade.

BRCGS is the preeminent global standard for evaluating supply chains across food safety, packaging, storage, distribution, consumer products and ethical trade practices.

Independent research from the University of Birkbeck demonstrates the significant value and economic benefits that BRCGS certification delivers to companies.

Attaining the AA+ grade is a powerful testament to INW’s relentless commitment to upholding the highest standards across every process, procedure, and facet of its quality management system. It represents the culmination of hard work, dedication, and competence exhibited by INW’s quality teams and the entire organisation.

Finding the right white label/private label manufacturer

Creating products from concept to commercialisation isn’t every manufacturer’s forte. Some only want to take your recipe and press out the product, while others develop their own recipes to drive costs down and innovate production lines.

It’s not a stretch to say that the best, most capable manufacturer for most nutrition and health brands is the one that can innovate to improve the end product through quality, scale, and consumer trust. That’s how the strongest brands succeed, and it’s the INW way.

The INW Edge

We have an expansive footprint stretching from California to the UK through industry leaders like Bee Health and Phoenix Formulations to offer an unmatched confluence of R&D prowess and manufacturing muscle.

Our agile innovation teams blend market foresight with scientific rigour to create products at the forefront of wellness. Think Bespoke formulations, novel delivery systems, and proprietary technologies — all within reach.

And once an idea shows promise, our world-class production capabilities ensure it reaches your customers with uncompromising quality and speed.

Securing critical certifications and optimising packaging and scaling output is something we do, so you don’t have to. The result is a partnership that empowers you not just to participate in your market but also to define its very future.

Collaborative Product Development: Transforming Ideas into Differentiated Solutions

At INW, we intimately understand your brand vision and desired outcomes – our agile R&D teams blend revered scientific minds with deep expertise in intellectual property, packaging, software, and marketing to push boundaries.

We dive deep into competitive analysis, emerging consumer trends, and high-quality ingredients to uncover white space opportunities where competitors aren’t meeting needs.

Creative formulations and proprietary production line technologies are just some ways we create differentiated solutions that resonate with your audience.

New Product Development

Our NPD concepts provide a turnkey solution for brands wanting to manufacture products that capitalise on the latest trends and consumer demands, allowing you to quickly establish a presence in the market.

For example, our work with propolis – a resinous substance produced by bees with health benefits – has led to propolis-based supplements in various delivery forms, including capsules, liquid extracts, and throat sprays.

Another example is oil-based vitamins in softgel capsules- something as simple as a new delivery system can help you penetrate the market.

Quality Control and Certifications

We are BRC AA+ certified and maintain meticulous quality control standards and procedures across all our facilities because trust and credibility are crucial in the wellness market – you need to have confidence in your white-label partner, and we provide it.

We can help your products secure vital certifications like FDA Registration, Kosher, HALAL, and Organic approval from the outset, building consumer confidence in your brand without any frustrating licensing restrictions.

Scalable Production Supporting Your Growth

With over 1 million square feet of manufacturing space, INW provides unmatched production scale – once you have validated market appetite, we offer speed, reliability, and quality across high-volume runs.

Our expansive multi-site footprint also means you mitigate supply chain risk, ensuring no customer interruptions.

Flexible Manufacturing: Powders, Capsules, Liquids, Gels, and More

We are the market leaders for soft gels and produce a wide range of powders, including protein blends, capsules, liquids, gels, creams, tablets, probiotics, energy shots, and much more to meet all your product requirements.

Our brands include:

ProForm Laboratories – powdered meal replacements, plant-based protein powders, vitamin herbal powders, and whey protein powders.
Phoenix Formulations – powders, capsules, and tablets for sports nutrition.
Capstone Nutrition – capsules, tablets, and powders for dietary supplements.
Dallas One Solutions – liquids, gel packs, cosmetics, and OTC products.
Bee Health – softgels, tablets, liquids, capsules, two-piece capsules and powders.
Living Ecology – functional foods and nutritional supplements specialising in fruit and nutrition bars.

In addition to producing these products, our brands offer multiple capabilities, including powder filling, inventory management, performance tracking, and on-site labs like R&D centres and marketed product stability labs.

Beautiful, High-Quality Packaging

We produce bottles, boxes, tamper-proof seals, dispensers, resealable bags, and squeeze pouches for all our customers to reduce costs and ensure product consistency.

INW’s packaging solutions meet FSC-certified products and packaging standards and equivalent UK/EU requirements.

Our tight supply chain ensures efficient packaging production that’s in line with the products, with no delays or hiccups before delivery.

Truly White Label

We develop health and nutrition products in-house and allow any reputable brand to repackage and resell them without referencing INW Group or our partners – this ensures a white label product that appears as your own.

White labelling helps you skip product development and bring new products to market, which makes sense for things like tablets and capsules of minerals, vitamins, and fatty acids that are only differentiated by their packaging.

Summing Up

Finding the right white-label partner boils down to your required capabilities:

Should they manufacture the product and the packaging?
Do you need advice on combining ingredients to make new products?
What certifications do your products require?
Where do your products need to be manufactured?
Does your partner need a minimum production capacity?
How will your partner protect your intellectual property?
Will your partner help develop new products for you?
Can your partner safeguard against supply chain issues like shortages?

INW’s multi-global capabilities provide all the correct answers, but we won’t keep you from knowing there are other options. Do your due diligence and choose the partner you trust the most to grow your brand.

Groundbreaking R&D Fuels Differentiation

INW is transforming the nutrition and wellness industry through groundbreaking innovation. Our agile R&D teams blend revered scientific minds with deep expertise in intellectual property, packaging, software, and marketing to push boundaries.

We intimately understand your brand vision and desired outcomes. Then, we dive deep into competitive analysis, emerging consumer trends, and high-quality ingredients to uncover white space opportunities where competitors aren’t meeting needs. Our researchers brainstorm creative formulations, innovative delivery systems, and proprietary technologies to create differentiated solutions.

Once a formula shows promise, we refine it through iterative prototyping and rigorous lab testing. We oversee clinical trials, develop thoughtful production scaling models, and support commercialisation to prepare your product for widespread market success.

Driven by an obsession to understand consumer preferences and enabled by flawless execution, ideas transform into differentiated products that outpace the competition in the nutritional and wellness market.

The Power Of INW Bee Health

Recently acquired Bee Health, a UK facility specialising in supplements and vitamins, epitomises INW’s commitment to groundbreaking R&D.

Bee Health has grown from a small business specialising in bee-derived ingredients, to become a leading BRCGS AA* accredited manufacturer of vitamins and supplements at its 80,000 sq. ft. state-of-the-art facility for customers over 30 countries, offering a full one-stop-shop experience for all our customers. The company continues to develop and produce the original Bee Health Propolis products that inspired its name, along with several other high-profile and popular health food brands, including FSC Supplements, vitamins, and superfoods.

Serving sports nutrition and personal care categories, Bee Health provides in-house research and regulatory capabilities for small-batch innovations – aligning with our focus on validating product-market fit before scaling.

A compact, agile set-up allows us to rapidly explore formulations, from tablets and capsules to soft gels, liquids, and powders – we are leaders in soft gels. Bespoke packaging like blister packing and vial filling caters to targeted consumer testing. Once a formula resonates and is ready for growth, INW’s extensive production network offers unmatched scale.

Core to our innovation model, Bee Health helps secure vital certifications like FDA Registration, Kosher, HALAL, Organic and Informed Sport from the outset. This builds trust and credibility for your brand in competitive wellness segments right out of the gate.
