NUTRITION BAR CO-MANUFACTURER
Built by operators. Designed for scaling brands.
We are the co-manufacturer we wish we’d had when we started out. Straight talk, high-quality product we’re proud to ship, and long-term partnerships.
Big enough. Small enough.
Capacity and capabilities to hit Costco pallet counts and ship nationally. Small enough to treat your brand like our own.
15+ YEARS OF NUTRITION BAR MANUFACTURING EXPERTISE · STRAIGHT TALK · INDEPENDENTLY OPERATED BY INDUSTRY VETERANS
WHAT WE DO
We manufacture nutrition bars, nothing else. One specialty we’ve fine-tuned and continuously improved over 15+ years.
We make cold-pressed, extruded nutrition bars.
Recipe development, ingredient sourcing, nutritional optimization, clean-label and functional formats. We've done it for our own brands — we'll do it for yours.
Cold-pressed extrusion, small to large batch runs, flexible volumes, private label, packaging and labeling — all in-house in Austin.
More than a typical co-manufacturer we've already done the troubleshooting with our own brands and are happy to help you with yours. Ingredient sourcing, date coding, distributor quirks: it's not our first rodeo.

BRANDS WE OPERATE
We eat our own cooking.
We've built, scaled and shipped three brands into major retailers and households across the country. Every process we run for you — formulation, pilot, Costco reset, freight — we've run for ourselves first.

WHAT FOUNDERS SAY
From the other side of the invoice.
"We have a lot of experience working with other co-manufacturers, and AFC has proven superior to all our other experiences when it comes to operational capability and overall partnership."— NATHAN, FOUNDER
"This is something that has been missing from Austin's CPG community; a partner to help brands run smaller-scale pilot runs, buyer samples, or limited time flavors."— ASHLEY, FOUNDER
