OUR OFFER
Manufacturing and Operations
Contract manufacturing, co-manufacturing, co-packing private label manufacturing, white label production: all these terms refer to the same thing: trusting a food or beverage company with the manufacturing of your product.
Contract manufacturing of all food and beverage product categories is Agilery’s core expertise – it is in our DNA. We have developed a range of service packages to answer your specific needs in order to implement your product vision.
Here is how we can precisely work together.
Nowadays, thanks to contract manufacturing, startups can launch products with minimal investments, and for enterprises there is no need for huge CAPEX to innovate quickly. The world of food and beverage contract manufacturing is full of opportunities. But this sector remains complex to navigate, even for experienced professionals.
Through a continuous stream of new technology and products, it became increasingly difficult to find the perfect production partner. In addition, the high pace of product innovation requires a flexibility that is often missing in the rigid traditional food industry, forcing some amazing concepts to lose their uniqueness.
Mapping of Manufacturers, Suppliers and Services
Find the best-in-class manufacturer and suppliers for your product in Europe
With close to 300’000 food and beverage processing companies in Europe and without a central database, it is very tough to find the best partners. Agilery acts as this central database to find out who are the best producers for your product, with a detailed evaluation to select the right options for your specific needs.
In parallel, we can also identify the suppliers and any other partner you need, such as for your logistics or quality, in order to have everything ready for your new product launch.

In parallel, we can also identify the suppliers and any other partner you need, such as for your logistics or quality, in order to have everything ready for your new product launch.
Most of our projects start like this. We leverage our extensive, constantly growing database of manufacturers and suppliers, to which we add ad-hoc searches for the specifics of your project. We know that innovation requires flexibility, and that’s why we are focused on small-scale to mid-scale contract manufacturers.
As part of this package, we contact each manufacturer to report on their most up-to-date status, perform a detailed evaluation of their capabilities, and confirm that they are ready to work with you. In addition, we will try to get manufacturing cost estimations even before trial productions so that you have all the cards in your hands before moving forward.
THE RIGHT PACKAGE FOR YOU IF:
- You struggle to identify the right partners, not getting answers or never finding a good fit
- All the co-manufacturers you know require huge volumes
- You don’t even know where to start looking for a co-manufacturer in Europe
- You need to find a new co-manufacturer for your current operations
- You want to launch a new product that does not fit your current manufacturing setup
Working with Agilery will allow you to access hidden pearls, small-scale facilities that are sometimes new to co-manufacturing. Get full visibility on your options and do not just settle on one choice, but the best one.
DELIVERABLES:
- Validated short list of contract manufacturers for your product
- Selection of ingredient & packaging suppliers
- Cost evaluation (if possible)
- Detailed recommendations and reporting
TYPICAL COSTS:
CHF 4'500 to 12'000
TYPICAL DURATION:
2 to 3 months

First Production – complete implementation
Turn your idea or prototype into commercial-ready products, reducing costs and lead time
You don’t need to have experience in the food business to launch your product. We can take care of it, supporting you through each stage without compromising on transparency and ownership.
We move forward step by step, starting with a mapping to find the best options to produce according to your expectations. We then take care of scaling up your recipes, keeping their USP intact, and delivering the first product batch. We handle everything that is needed to reach this point: recipe and process scale-up, quality assurance, labeling compliance, logistics, etc. Basically, everything needed to ensure that your first batch is ready to be a commercial success.

- You want to have a finished product to showcase your specific ingredient or processing
During all our projects, we guarantee full transparency, strong IP protection clauses, confidentiality, and no hidden terms. We pride ourselves with a lean, fast and pragmatic approach while maintaining very high-quality standards.
Working with Agilery will allow you to launch your product much faster and avoid falling into common pitfalls, thus massively reducing your costs. Don’t spend 2 years on your launch, we can make it work in 6 months!

Outsourced Operations Management
One-stop flexible continuous support to manage ongoing operations
Managing co-manufacturing operations is not a simple task. Juggling between suppliers, deliveries, timelines, quality and troubleshooting barely leaves time for anything else. Hiring an operations manager is risky: not only will you add someone to the payroll, but you will rely on the skills of just one person.
We offer an alternative: a flexible, one-stop support tailored to your needs. Through a single contact point, our team of experts can cover everything you need to ensure stable production operations. Sourcing, manufacturing, logistics, quality, and cost reductions are our daily tasks.
