Nutra Connection

What Nutra Connection does

Nutra Connection is a privately held, B2B contract manufacturer of powder-based dietary supplements and food products headquartered in Spanish Fork, Utah. The company was founded in 2015 and brought a 32,000 sq ft manufacturing facility online in 2021, complemented by a 40,000 sq ft warehouse in Springville and a 16,000 sq ft fulfillment center; it operates 13 clean rooms and maintains NSF (GMP), SQF/GFSI, UL, OTCO Organic, SSCI, Orthodox Union Kosher, Gluten-Free and UDAF GMP certifications. Its core production equipment includes multi-lane VFFS stick-pack and sachet lines (over 1 million stick packs per day combined), a 114 cu ft paddle/fluidizer blender (15,000 kilos per shift), a 20 cu ft V-blender (2,000 kilos per shift), a Syntegon Capsylon GKF 3005 encapsulation machine (130,000-145,000 capsules per hour), high-speed rotary filling machines and a bottling line rated at 7,000-15,000 bottles per shift.

The company sells turnkey services to scaling nutraceutical brands, food and dietary supplement distributors, and large enterprises under an enterprise field-sales motion: clients submit RFQs via the website, receive quotes within 48 business hours, and progress through a 1-2 week project evaluation, 2-8 week R&D/onboarding, and 8-12 week manufacturing cycle, with multi-year contracts anchored by high MOQs (100,000 stick packs, 50,000 sachets, and 5,000 bottles per SKU). Revenue is generated from per-project manufacturing fees, a $2,500 per formulation R&D fee (credited toward first production), and managed-services fees for warehousing and per-order fulfillment, with shopping-cart and Amazon FBA integrations enabling direct-to-consumer and retail-channel shipment for clients.
