Founders and early-stage operators get the same R&D depth, regulatory science, and packaging engineering that Fortune 500 brands rely on — sized to your stage, paced to your runway, and built to grow with you.
Formulation, ingredient sourcing, regulatory clearance, packaging design, production, and fulfillment coordinated through a single program manager. You ship product without building eight internal disciplines first.
Validated formulas across hydration, protein, supplements, dairy alternatives, beverages, and personal care — available for private label or as a development baseline. Cuts months off your time-to-shelf and reduces formulation risk.
Stick packs and sachets from 50K. Capsules from 1M. Liquid cans from 150K. Bottles from 50K. Bulk from 10K kg. Sized for emerging brands hitting first-volume milestones without forcing year-one inventory commitments most brands can't carry.
Career-track formulation chemists, a Certified Food Scientist, and senior R&D leadership on staff. You get enterprise-grade product development without building an internal R&D team in year one.
DSHEA notifications, GRAS support, MoCRA registration, organic and Non-GMO certification, and category-specific compliance. The regulatory science is on staff so founders don't have to hire it before product-market fit.
From first 50K units to dedicated production lines, the engagement model evolves with your growth. No vendor switch at $5M ARR. No vendor switch at $50M. Same operator across the whole arc.
Emerging brands face a structural problem: enterprise contract manufacturers won't take their calls, and the contract manufacturers that will take their calls usually can't deliver enterprise-grade R&D, regulatory, or packaging engineering. The result is founders piecing together a co-packer, a formulation consultant, a packaging vendor, a regulatory consultant, and a 3PL — five separate relationships, five sets of handoffs, and friction at every interface.
McClary's leadership team has operated on both sides of this. Senior leaders have founded and scaled brands of their own — including a founder-CEO who built and sold a successful nutritional beverage company to a Fortune 100 acquirer, and senior R&D leadership with prior tenure at multiple high-growth supplement enterprises. That founder-level experience shapes how the network supports emerging brands: clear program management, transparent pricing, and the understanding that runway is finite.
Practically, that means an emerging brand can start with full turnkey support — we develop the formula, source ingredients, engineer packaging, run production, handle fulfillment, and own the regulatory file — and shift to pure tolling or strategic partnership as the brand grows and builds internal capability. No vendor switch is required when you scale. The relationship is structured to grow with you.
Whether you have a formula ready or just an idea — our team responds within 24 hours to discuss fit, format, MOQs, and what a launch program would look like for your brand.
