EuroCaps

What EuroCaps does

EuroCaps is a United Kingdom-based contract manufacturer of soft gelatin capsules (softgels) and nutritional gummies, serving nutritional supplement and OTC pharmaceutical companies across Europe and worldwide. The company, headquartered in Tredegar and founded in 1994, operates from a single UK manufacturing site and employs 101-250 people. Its product portfolio spans six lines: traditional gelatin softgels, proprietary Vegesoft vegetarian softgels (a plant-based shell technology in which EuroCaps claims over ten years of experience and world-leader status), omega-3 softgels with specialized oxidation-protection techniques, Softburst chewable softgels, EnteriSoft-1Step enteric softgels, and starch-free nutritional gummies manufactured on dedicated starch-free equipment.

The business operates as a pure B2B contract manufacturer, generating revenue through manufacturing fees paid by customers for production runs of customer-specified formulations, with quote-based pricing and multi-year contracts. The company sells through an enterprise field sales motion, with named senior business development and key account management roles, and reaches prospects through a professional website and LinkedIn presence. EuroCaps holds GMP certification and HFMA membership, both prerequisites for serving regulated supplement and OTC pharmaceutical customers. The company is currently part of the Ourvita Group, having joined in 2025 from its prior parent HBI Health & Beauty Innovations, with the same management team and operating commitments retained through the transition.

Differentiation rests on proprietary process know-how — particularly vegetarian softgel shell technology, complex paste formulation expertise supported by multi-million-pound capital investment, and starch-free gummy manufacturing capability (making it one of the first UK entrants in gummy production and the sole UK manufacturer offering vegetarian softgels). The company does not sell branded products directly to consumers and has no disclosed AI or software technology stack; it competes on manufacturing quality, formulation breadth, and specialized dosage formats.
