Hemplab

What Hemplab does

Hemplab Sp. z o.o. is a Polish contract manufacturer founded in 2017 and headquartered at Wrotkowska 2, Lublin, producing dietary supplements, hemp/CBD products, and veterinary preparations in oil, aqueous solution, softgel capsule, and gummy formats. The company operates a vertically integrated model spanning industrial hemp cultivation (a leased field at Jantarowa Street in Lublin since April 2022), extraction and isolation, proprietary water-soluble CBD processing, in-house HPLC chromatography for quality control, and finished-product manufacturing under ISO 9001, ISO 22000, HACCP, and Polish State Veterinary Inspection supervision (WNI: PL0663202p). Its go-to-market is dual: B2B private-label and white-label contract manufacturing for partners across Poland and Europe, alongside its own consumer brands Cannabium (human hemp products), Pets (companion-animal oils), and Cannabium Vet (veterinary channel), distributed through pharmacy chains, drugstores, wholesalers, and herbal shops. The company reports serving more than 500 B2B clients and producing over 100 dietary supplements on the Polish market, supported by a dozen in-house chemists and ongoing research collaborations with UMCS and the University of Life Sciences in Lublin.

The business is funded primarily through operating cash flow and a European Union co-financing grant of 699,981.28 PLN (against a 1,136,003.40 PLN total project budget, November 2021–May 2023) earmarked for international expansion into the UK, Spain, and the USA, with a stated objective of a 20% export revenue increase by end of 2025. Pricing is quote-based with Minimum Order Quantity thresholds, where larger orders reduce per-unit cost; contract clients may also opt for white-label formats leveraging existing formulations, supply their own raw materials, or use Hemplab's dropshipping service for fulfillment. Marketing channels include Polish/English website content, social media (Facebook, Instagram, LinkedIn), email newsletters, and trade-show presence (White Label World Expo Frankfurt, Animals & Veterinary Days). The current management team comprises CEO Szymon Włodarczyk, Founder Krzysztof Michałowski, Director of Sales Kamila Najda, and Key Account Managers Weronika Wesołowska and Mariusz Niczyporuk.

Direct peers

• CV Sciences (PlusCBD): US-listed CBD consumer products company (PlusCBD brand) producing hemp-derived supplements including softgels and oils. Comparable product mix and channel approach to Hemplab's Cannabium brand.
• Kazmira: US-based CBD and hemp contract manufacturer offering white-label and custom formulations including tinctures, softgels, and topicals. Directly comparable business model to Hemplab's contract manufacturing plus proprietary technology approach.
• Mile High Labs: US-based contract manufacturer of hemp-derived CBD ingredients and finished products for global brands. Directly comparable to Hemplab as a CBD/hemp CDMO serving B2B clients with private label and bulk ingredient supply, though at significantly larger scale.
• Endoca: Denmark-based vertically integrated CBD/hemp producer with both B2B contract services and direct consumer brands. Closest European comparable to Hemplab in terms of vertical integration from cultivation to finished product and dual OEM/own-brand model.
• Elixinol: Globally operating hemp-derived CBD company producing own brands and supplying bulk ingredients. Comparable to Hemplab through hemp-based product portfolio, softgel and oil dosage forms, and focus on quality/certifications for international retail distribution.

Regional players

• Nordic Oil: European CBD brand operating across multiple EU markets with own retail and pharmacy distribution. Comparable to Hemplab's own-brand Cannabium in CBD retail strategy, though focused on consumer-only rather than contract manufacturing.

Broad incumbents

• Thorne: Premium US-based supplement manufacturer offering capsules, softgels, and gummies with strong practitioner and DTC channels. Comparable to Hemplab in dosage-form capabilities and quality positioning, but at much larger scale and primarily own-brand focus.
• Nature's Way: Established global dietary supplement manufacturer with broad botanical and herbal product portfolio including softgels. Comparable to Hemplab in herbal/botanical supplement manufacturing, but at much larger scale and primarily own brand.
• NOW Foods: Large US-based dietary supplement manufacturer with broad portfolio of vitamins, oils, softgels, and herbal supplements. Overlaps with Hemplab in core supplement manufacturing capability but operates at much larger scale and primarily under own brands rather than private label.

Others

• Eurofins: Global testing, inspection, and certification group operating food and supplement testing laboratories. Relevant adjacent peer because Hemplab's in-house HPLC laboratory services overlap with Eurofins' analytical testing offerings for supplement manufacturers.
