When a project calls for custom liquid manufacturing – whether that’s a specialist formulation, an unusual process requirement, or small-batch trial work – Grotech Production has the experience and flexibility to deliver.
As a UK liquid contract manufacturer with over 40 years in the industry, we work to our clients’ specifications, handling everything from raw material sourcing through to finished product. The project below is a good example of what that looks like in practice.
How did Grotech Production’s liquid contract manufacturing services help soft fruit growing research?
As specialists in bespoke liquid contract manufacturing, we are used to producing all kinds of products in many different circumstances but never have we been required to ‘do our thing’ in the dark before!
However, that is exactly what we needed to do when asked by a leading UK horticulture research and development organisation to work with them on an Innovate UK research trial involving soft fruit.
Innovate UK, the UK’s national innovation agency, supports business-led innovation in all sectors and technologies, helping them grow through the development and commercialisation of new products, processes and services.
On this occasion, the focus was on producing a spray treatment for soft fruit which included a UV detectable marker in a food-safe formulation. We worked with the research team to deliver the product which included procuring the materials required and then manufacturing the trial quantity of the marker formulation in 50 litre and 150 litre batches.
Given the light sensitive qualities of the formulation, it was essential that it was never exposed to light which meant all manufacturing need to be conducted in the dark. A challenge certainly, but one we rose to admirably with all due consideration also given to the health and safety issues related to working under such limiting conditions.
Flexibility in our ways of working and applying our 40+ years of bespoke liquid contract manufacturing experience on behalf of our customers is something we take pride in – however unusual the brief.
