If you are looking for an innovation partner who is passionate about protecting and building your brand, let us show you the Capstone Nutrition difference.
Whether your formulation is delivered as a capsule, tablet or single-serve powder, Capstone can accommodate your needs. Our packaging expertise includes bottling, cartoning, blistering and packeting. Our production experts will work with you in the development of the best delivery mechanism, and our packaging experts are on hand to develop the ideal solution for delivery, merchandising, ease-of-use and repeat business.
There are many manufacturers in the global marketplace that promise results, but there is a cavernous difference between promises and actual delivery. Furthermore, many contract manufacturing businesses practice a culture of making a “quick buck,” compromising on quality, rather than building lasting relationships and a solid reputation. Capstone believes true performance cannot be gained by cutting corners. We prefer to establish a sustained presence with our industry partners by earning a name synonymous with performance, trust and reliability. Our processes have been established as a means to perform with consistency, and enable our clients to dynamically scale their operations.

Our quest for continuous improvement is remarkable. Part of Capstone’s DNA is to engage with our people, challenging them to “See, Think, and Do" more each day to improve the process. This disciplined drive for perfection is infectious and it shows in the quality of our work and innovations.
Purpose-Built Facility:

With our state-of-the-art, 300,000 square foot manufacturing facility, we can create hundreds of nutritional products all in-house.

Every inch of our facility was designed and built to efficiently receive and store raw materials, weigh and blend, sector in individually walled suites, tablet/encapsulate/bottle and package your formulation. Multiple lines enable full scalability and all manufacturing, R&D and administrative functions are housed under one roof, resulting in speedy attention to your detailed project. Innovations abound in every department.
One of our most recent innovations is the development of an overhead feed network, enabling us to maintain a blender-to-unit-dose structure.

Sustainable and Safety Always!
With all these moving parts and pieces – safety plays a vital role with who we are and what we do. Our mantra is “Safety Always!” The Environmental Health & Safety (EHS) Office is the first thing our associates see as they walk through the main associate entrance. This is the first thing we think of as we enter the building, and we are reminded again at the end of a productive day as we leave. We want to be just as safe at work as we are away from work. Capstone is proud to have a dedicated onsite EHS Specialist to assist and support as issues may arise. We have several associates who are EMT certified, and others in the process of testing.

One of our direct efforts to improve health and safety comes through our focus on minimizing the impact our organization has on the environment. Throughout our manufacturing processes, various types of packaging waste is generated. We have partnered with many local companies to recycle and reduce the amount of materials that in prior years were sent to the landfill. We also work on minimizing waste by actively asking our teams to implement measures that decrease the use of cardboard, metal, plastic, and wood pallets.
Other opportunities to save and reduce our environmental impact have come from collaborating with other vendors to improve lighting capabilities and functions in various areas (i.e. LED and automation). Additionally, in the past year we have coordinated with our local power company to install a new compressor system that uses significantly less air and energy than our older system. Lastly, through the implementation of improved systems throughout the company, we have been able to provide paperless systems that eliminate the need for paper in many areas and various processes.
Part of this improvement includes a recently realized goal to be ISO 14001 Compliant. We are actively working towards goals for sustainability, and we are confident in the meaningful and sustainable progress we are making.
