Having an innovative, market-leading product is only half the battle in the competitive nutrition and wellness sector.
The other critical components are professional packaging and reliable fulfilment, which are essential for getting your products on shelves and into customers’ hands.
INW’s extensive capabilities do just that, handling every aspect of preparing your vitamins, supplements, and nutritional products for commercial distribution.
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.

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.

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.

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

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.
Please contact our sales team (sales@beehealth.com) for further information.

Market foresight keeps our research and development on track with products consumers want rather than wasteful products that benefit no one.
Many of our customers request bespoke formulations tailored to specific customer needs and market demands, using unique ingredients or a different delivery system, such as soft gels instead of tablets.
Once a promising innovative product is developed, our production facilities ensure it reaches customers quickly while maintaining uncompromising quality standards.
Packing Capabilities
We can pack 300,000 units per week and support their production across product development, manufacturing, packaging, and worldwide delivery – all under one roof – collaborating with specialty packaging printers to produce customised labels and cartons.
These printers include twin-head filling counting machines, automated cappers, Enercon induction sealers, shrink ovens, and inline batches.
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.
Summing Up
Your nutrition brand needs a contract manufacturer whose quality, capacity, and support are on point alongside a robust supply chain that can shield you from pandemics, wars, and other global issues that could put you out of business.
We leverage decades of R&D experience, world-class production capabilities, product development prowess, and a global supply chain to be your leading contract manufacturer for nutrition and wellness products.
Trust INW Bee Health to manufacture your nutrition and wellness products and focus on growing your brand. We’ve got you covered.
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.
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.
