Hemplab - End-to-End Contract Manufacturing (CDMO)
From concept and scientific expertise to millions of finished products. We take care of technology and manufacturing - so you can focus on growing your brand.
At Hemplab, we transform complex product development and manufacturing processes into efficient, scalable, and commercially successful solutions. As a specialized CDMO partner, we take full responsibility for the design, technological development, and manufacturing of dietary supplements, functional foods, and feed premixes.
We specialize in advanced liquid formulations, delivering complete end-to-end manufacturing services - from concept development and laboratory formulation to process scale-up and high-volume production of market-ready products.
Scale and operational potential – infrastructure with a soul
Modern technological park in the heart of Lublin
Our roots go back to 2017. We started with advanced processing of plant raw materials and developing products based on natural active substances. Close cooperation with outstanding scientists from Maria Curie-Skłodowska University, University of Life Sciences, and Medical University of Lublin allowed us to develop unique extraction technologies. It was from this scientific passion that our leading market specialization was born: production of products in liquid forms, which today constitutes 90% of our activity.
Today, the heart of Hemplab is a modern, constantly expanding production and warehouse facility located in the revitalized premises of the former Lublin Tobacco Plants on Wrotkowska Street in Lublin. We have an impressive space of over 5000 m² of production, office and logistics area.
Our operational power in numbers
Liquid filling efficiency
Our automatic and semi-automatic lines fill 2 to 3 thousand bottles per hour (functional and collagen shots 30 ml, pharmacy syrups, flavored drops, oils, nootropics, adaptogens in glass, and functional beverages).
Powder packaging efficiency
Dispensing lines pack 1 to 3 thousand jars and doypack-type packages per hour (powders and granulates).
Market scale
We serve over 140 active clients, with an annual potential exceeding 2 million product units.
We don't produce in theory - we can reliably mass produce.
We cordially invite our future Partners to visit the facility and audit our potential live.
Quality and safety standards - our absolute standard
Uncompromising safety confirmed by international certificates
In the health and food industry, quality tolerates no compromises. The safety of products introduced to the market is our starting point, endorsed by our entire team. We have full and rigorous implementation of international management and food safety systems:
Certification and standards: ISO 9001, ISO 22000, IFS and the highest industry quality standard - BRC.
Compliance and supervision: We have implemented GMP (Good Manufacturing Practice) and HACCPsystems. We are under constant supervision of the State Sanitary Inspectorate (PPIS) and the State Veterinary Inspectorate (in the scope of feed mixtures).
Full traceability: Our IT systems and warehouse procedures guarantee 100% traceability of every batch of raw material, packaging, and auxiliary material. We lift the fear of regulatory risk from your shoulders.
R&D facilities and innovations - we create market demand
Rapid Prototyping and scientific know-how
We have a modern, well-equipped research and development (R&D) laboratory where we conduct dynamic work on private label formulations. Our team of engineers and technologists not only reproduces market trends - we anticipate them, designing unique, physicochemically stable products with excellent sensory qualities (taste, smell, liquid clarity).
Thanks to a flexible approach, we offer rapid prototypingservices. We are a partner for the most creative and innovative ideas in the selection of active raw materials, EFSA health claims, non-standard flavors or aromas.
Research processes - BerryBrains Project
Our innovativeness is also confirmed by scientific projects subsidized by European Union funds. We are currently implementing our proprietary research and development project "BerryBrains". Its goal is to develop a proprietary, high-efficiency method of extracting plant raw materials aimed at maximizing polyphenol recovery and transferring this unique extract into highly attractive and modern forms of supplementation, such as functional gummies.
Transparent cooperation process - step by step
We will guide you through the production process without unnecessary complications
The process of implementing a new product can seem complex. Our task is to surround you with professional regulatory, raw material, and technological support so that you can focus solely on marketing and sales.
Consultation and understanding needs: We listen to your brand vision, analyze the target group, and together select the values the product should represent.
Recipe development (R&D): We create a stable formulation in our laboratory, adjusting the composition, tastes, and smells.
Rapid prototyping (trials): You receive technological samples to evaluate the finished product before mass filling.
Raw material purchase and control: We ensure clean labels (Clean Label), the highest quality components, and full regulatory compliance.
Production and packaging: We flexibly adapt our lines (from shots to syrups) to the size of your campaign and dynamic market needs.
Logistics and post-implementation support: We deliver the finished product and remain at your disposal. Our responsibility does not end when the goods leave the warehouse.
Faces of business - people and competencies
Expert knowledge combined with business acumen
Hemplab is, above all, a well-coordinated, competent, and deeply committed team of professionals. We believe that it is easiest to be an expert in a field that is your true passion. To ensure the highest market standard of service and technology, we combine the world of science with the world of modern business - which is why our structures and laboratory employ, among others, people with doctoral degrees in chemical sciences and biotechnology.
The company's management consists of experienced market practitioners. We build an organizational culture based on trust, transparency, hard data, and a focus on the real business results of our Partners. We believe that great projects and millions of produced packages are best created in an atmosphere of mutual respect, partnership, and with a lot of smiles along the way.

How Does Contract Manufacturing of Food Supplements Work? Clients’ Most Frequently Asked Questions
