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. [Start a Project](https://www.mcclaryindustries.com/contact?hsLang=en) [Explore Capabilities](https://www.mcclaryindustries.com/emerging-brands#capabilities) Who We Serve ## Enterprise capabilities, founder-friendly pace. Most contract manufacturers built for enterprise brands won't take a call from a $2M brand. Most contract manufacturers built for emerging brands don't have the regulatory or R&D depth to handle anything serious. McClary's network is structured to support emerging brands with the same capability depth large brands rely on — sized to your volume, paced to your funding cycle, and built to scale with you over multiple rounds of growth. How We Support ## How we support emerging brands ### Full-turnkey program management 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. ### Ready-to-launch formulas 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. ### Approachable MOQs 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. ### R&D depth without the rebuild 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. ### Regulatory handled in-house 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. ### A partner who scales with you 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. By the Numbers ## Built for the way founders actually scale. 50K Starting MOQ on stick packs & sachets RTL Validated formulas ready to launch 1 Program manager · all disciplines coordinated 24h Response on new inquiries Why Founders Choose McClary ## We've seen the playbook from both sides. 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. ### Ways We Work With Emerging Brands Full Turnkey single program manager · concept to first shipment Ready-to-Launch validated formulas · accelerated time-to-shelf Approachable MOQs 50K sticks · 1M capsules · 150K cans · 50K bottles Co-Development your concept · our R&D · structured pricing Packaging Engineering structural design · branding studio · retail-ready Fulfillment Included DTC · subscription · e-commerce marketplaces · retail Related Capabilities ## Capabilities to know about. ### [Ready-to-Launch Validated formulas across hydration, protein, supplements, and functional categories — accelerated time-to-shelf for emerging brands.
