Cosmax NBT

What Cosmax NBT does

Cosmax NBT is a B2B contract manufacturer of dietary supplements, operating as a wholly-owned subsidiary of Cosmax Group, a South Korean health and beauty conglomerate. The company manufactures products across multiple delivery formats — tablets, capsules, softgels, powders, liquids, gummies, and jellies — serving brand partners seeking custom formulation and production services. Manufacturing operations are consolidated in Seoul, South Korea (relocated from Texas in May 2025), with a US sales and marketing office in Plano, Texas; the company serves customers globally across the dietary supplement industry under a one-stop-shop operating model with in-house R&D, formulation, and quality control capabilities.

The company's technology and product portfolio includes proprietary ingredient platforms such as Zeta probiotics with AEPP Technology and the TW10K prebiotic, patented Ashwagandha extract, Agatri/Ceramosides/Keraful beauty actives, Tabetri joint health compound, Respecta women's wellness ingredient, and Nonitri hangover relief ingredient. Delivery technology platforms span A:dam precision-layered tablet technology, liposomal delivery technology, and the Visual Sensory Sheet sensory evaluation tool. Manufacturing footprint supports 47 million sachets annually for snack-type formats following a 2025-2026 capacity expansion that added a new 12-lane stick-pack line and tripled liquid stick capacity at affiliate Cosmax Bio.

Cosmax NBT generates revenue through production fees and development services on a quote-based pricing model, with multi-year contracts common and pricing tied to product format complexity, order quantity, and customization requirements. The go-to-market motion relies on assigned account managers using a consultative enterprise sales approach, supplemented by a self-service request-a-quote portal and trade show presence at events like SupplySide Global. Targeted customer segments span sports nutrition brands, beauty/wellness brands, gut health brands, metabolic and weight management brands, mental wellness brands, and women's health brands, with named customers including Chong Kun Dang Healthcare (pharmaceutical subsidiary) for the 'Thank You Shot' hangover relief product.
