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
Nutrition bar co-manufacturing. Cold-pressed, extruded.
We manufacture nutrition bars, nothing else. One specialty we’ve fine-tuned and continuously improved over 15+ years.
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
This isn't our first rodeo.
We're a nutrition bar co-manufacturer run by industry veterans who've built and scaled our own brands — Bearded Bros, Yumster Yo!, and Sans Meal Bar.
EXPERIENCE: COSTCO · WALMART · KROGER · UNFI · KEHE · WHOLE FOODS · AMAZON · SPROUTS · ALBERTSON'S
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.
