What RE ProMan does

RE ProMan, LLC is a privately held B2B protein contract manufacturer headquartered and operating from a single state-of-the-art facility at 701 West 6th Street, Galesburg, Illinois. The company provides turnkey protein manufacturing services — covering R&D, formulation, separation, spray drying, packaging, and labeling — all performed in-house under GFSI certification, with Kosher and USDA Organic credentials available on request. Its portfolio spans plant-based, whey, keto, and allergen-free proteins, with options for organic and grass-fed variants, and on-site batch testing provides full traceability from raw material through finished product.

The company serves food and beverage consumer brands, with explicit focus on both emerging brands launching their first SKU and established brands scaling for nationwide distribution. Production scales from pilot runs through high-volume commercial manufacturing with flexible batch sizing and short turnarounds. The differentiation thesis centers on consolidating what is typically a multi-vendor supply chain into a single in-house partner with full transparency, relationship-driven account management, and clean-label formulation expertise.

Commercially, RE ProMan operates a sales-led B2B model where prospective clients engage through project managers and a proposal process; pricing is quote-based and determined per project by batch size, formulation requirements, and volume, with no public rate cards. The company publicly signals openness to international partnerships, suggesting potential geographic reach beyond the U.S. Midwest, though no international customers, revenue breakdowns, or headcount figures are disclosed. No funding rounds, acquisitions, leadership team, or ownership information appear in the source data, leaving capitalization, ownership, and scale materially under-documented.
