What Is Contract Manufacturing Used For?

Contract manufacturing is great for focusing on different areas of business management or for finding extra resources. In fact, all types of industries take advantage of contract manufacturing services. Far beyond contracting out for manufacturing reasons alone, this type can be used as a tool to discover and utilise new resources and oversee inventory management.

 

Here at DGL, we take pride in providing custom chemical manufacturing and chemical storage solutions for our clients. When you use our trusted processes, you can expect contract manufacturing as one of our specialty services. Contract manufacturing from DGL can be used when your company needs chemical blending, down packing, bulking up and manufacturing products according to your requirements.

Chemical Formulation

One of the common things contract manufacturers create is chemical formulation. This is a complex process that needs to be carried out in professional labs, which are required to be overseen by regulatory agencies. This must be done under scrutiny because of the nature of working with chemicals. The safety of workers and the surrounding environment can all be affected if chemicals are not handled carefully.


A high-quality contracted chemical manufacturer such as DGL will be able to offer completely customisable chemical products for their clients. Many different industries contract out manufacturers for their chemical formulation needs. 


Some of these products include:


  • Beauty, haircare and skincare products
  • Fungicides, herbicides and pesticides
  • Dyes
  • Fertilizers
  • Essential oils
  • Adjuvants
  • Wetting agents

 

There are many steps to the formulation process, all of which must be meticulously carried out. 


The process begins when your business consults with the contracted company about the purpose and goals of the chemical blending. This will include assisting in choosing what ingredients your business prefers, the feasibility and time frame of the project and inform you of all safety concerns and regulatory protocols. Once the plan is laid out, the chemical blending can begin. This must be done in an accredited laboratory, which means that third-party agencies assure that the facility adheres to all the latest safety and environmental guidelines.

 

Any respectable contract manufacturer will be well versed in all the laws that must be followed when dealing with chemical blending. The chemical blending process takes place until a prototype is created, and that prototype must be subjected to field trials and monitored for any safety concerns. 


Once it has been deemed safe, it is developed for commercial use. It is important for any business to contract a manufacturer that can produce the amount of product needed to meet your customers’ demands.

Chemical Storage

The storage of chemicals must be done in facilities capable of meeting each formulation’s unique needs. Chemicals will often need special environments to be stored safely, including the condition to be kept at a certain temperature. Failure to store products in their intended environments can cause them to break down or decrease in quality or efficiency.

 

Businesses often contract chemical storage and transportation from manufacturers with facilities and transportation modes already in place. Facilitating dedicated contracts for many of Australia’s and New Zealand’s largest manufacturers and importers, DGL has Trans-Tasman capabilities, which allow us to freely transport goods between both locations.
