Tolling
& turnkey.

From pure tolling — you bring the formula, we run your line — through full turnkey support across formulation, sourcing, packaging, regulatory, and fulfillment. One operator. Multiple engagement models.

How We Work

One operator. The engagement model you need.

Brands at different stages need different things from a contract manufacturer. Established brands often need pure tolling — bring your validated formula and ingredients, we run your line. Emerging brands often need full turnkey — formulation, sourcing, regulatory, packaging, fulfillment, all coordinated through one relationship. McClary's network supports the full spectrum without forcing brands into a single engagement model.
Engagement Models

Engagement models

Pure tolling

You supply the formula, ingredients, and packaging. We run your production. Ideal for established brands with validated formulas, qualified suppliers, and the scale to manage upstream procurement directly.

Co-manufacturing

You supply the formula and select ingredients. We source the rest, coordinate procurement, and run production. Common for brands transitioning from in-house production or consolidating multiple co-mans.

Private label

We supply validated formulas you can brand and launch quickly. Available across hydration, protein, supplements, beverages, dairy alternatives, and personal care. Fastest path to retail.

White label

We supply finished, validated SKUs ready to relabel and ship. Ideal for retailers, foodservice operators, and brands testing new categories without development investment.

Full turnkey development

Concept through shelf. Formulation, ingredient sourcing, regulatory clearance, packaging design and engineering, production, and fulfillment — all coordinated through a single program manager.

Strategic partnership

Multi-year, multi-SKU partnerships with shared roadmap planning, dedicated capacity allocation, KPI alignment, and integrated innovation pipelines. Designed for brands operating at scale who want a co-pilot rather than a vendor.

By the Numbers

Flexibility, structured.

How It Works

We meet you where you are.

Most contract manufacturers force a single engagement model: take it or leave it. Pure tollers won't touch formulation. Turnkey shops won't honor your existing supplier relationships. Private label houses won't develop a custom formula. McClary's network is structured to support any of these — and to shift between them as your brand evolves.

A brand often starts in full turnkey mode for a first product launch: we develop the formula, source the ingredients, engineer the packaging, run production, handle fulfillment, and own the regulatory file. Two years later, that same brand may have built out internal procurement and want to shift to co-manufacturing — bringing their own ingredient relationships while keeping production and fulfillment with us. Five years in, they may be running pure tolling, having qualified their own packaging vendors and built ingredient resilience. McClary supports that evolution without forcing a vendor switch at each stage.

On the other end of the spectrum, large established brands often need pure tolling for the bulk of their volume but want access to formulation R&D for new SKU development. We support that mixed model too — running pure tolling on established lines while operating as an R&D and pilot partner for innovation work.
