Nutraceutical Contract Manufacturing in Review: Factory6 2025 Wrapped

Every year has a rhythm. For us, 2025 sounded like production lines running steadily, teams asking better questions, and partners pushing ideas that deserved to be built.

So, we did what felt right and told a story of our year, Spotify style.

Check out our video!

Formats we had on repeat

Chewable Tablets: 23,603,782
Flavor matters. If it doesn’t taste good, consumers won’t stay loyal.

Functional Powders: 2,577,689 units / 207,122 kg
Hydration, gut health, calm energy… products built for routines

Capsules: 65,850,493
Less filler. More intention. Better questions at every step.

Beyond supplements: 3,169,222 units
Oral care, hygiene, and exciting waterless formats.

If it blended, compressed, encapsulated, and solved a real consumer problem, it ran through our 30,000 sq ft NSF-certified facility (come visit!).


Most-Played Artists

The people who made it happen

These names came up again and again across meetings, production floors, and late-afternoon problem-solving sessions:

R&D (for making “can we?” turn into “here’s how”)

QA & Compliance (quietly protecting everyone’s work)

Production Leads (keeping timelines real, not aspirational)

Project Managers (holding everything together when things got complex)

Everything that shipped did so because our team stayed aligned.

Total production hours logged: 156,412

Most-Played Internal Dialogue

What runs through our heads daily

“Will this scale?”

“What happens at full production?”

“How does this behave six months from now?”

“Does this actually make the product better?”

If we couldn’t answer those questions honestly, we didn’t move forward.


Unexpected Favorites

Moments that show us what we’re made of

Solving challenges others walked away from

Reworking packaging timelines without derailing launches

Supporting brands mid-switch who needed stability fast

Turning “this might be an issue” into “handled”

Wins build the strongest partnerships, and that’s what we’re all about. 


This Year’s Mood

Focused.
Capable.
Calm under pressure.

More systems.
Better outcomes.


Closing Track

2025 was about becoming a manufacturing partner brands can grow further with.

As we head into 2026, we’re clearer, stronger, and even more equipped, while carrying the same high standards and sharp edge.

Thanks for being part of the work. Even after nine years, it still feels like we’re just getting started.
