Contract manufacturing

and packing solutions

for Personal care brand-owners
 “Whenever a company produces something internally that
others can buy or produce more efficiently and effectively,
it sacrifices competitive advantage.”
Prof. James B. Quinn

2 Budelpack Personal care

Budelpack is the leading European provider of co-manufacturing,
co-packing and related production services.
By taking responsibility for brand-owners’ non-core manufacturing
and packing activities, we enable firms to concentrate on their
core value-adding competences: R&D, proprietary manufacturing,
marketing and sales.

Our thorough understanding of Personal care brand-owners’

manufacturing and packing needs is the result of over 30 years
experience. Today, through established operations in Belgium,
Germany, The Netherlands, Spain and the United Kingdom, we
provide the infrastructure our customers need to overcome
skills and capacity shortages, accelerate time-to-market,
rationalise operations and minimise investment risk.

Our goal is to maintain our Number One position in the Personal

care market through the continued development of dynamic
long-term relationships with market-leading companies
such as Beiersdorf, Colgate Palmolive, Coty, GlaxoSmithKline,
Henkel Schwarzkopf, Johnson & Johnson, Kimberly Clark,
L’Oréal, Procter & Gamble, Sara Lee | DE and Unilever HPCE.

Cost savings... Efficiency gains

The globalisation of the Personal care market is causing brand-owners

to challenge the speed, flexibility and cost of their business processes.

Direct ‘make or buy’ comparisons reveal the valuable cost savings

and efficiency benefits to be gained from outsourcing manufacturing

operations to specialist partners.

Focus

Our strategy of continuous improvement has resulted in our becoming the

European leader in the execution of new product introductions, sampling
initiatives and in the rationalisation of manufacturing processes through
business process outsourcing.

Sampling Business Process Outsourcing

We are able to produce, pack and distribute almost any
type of sample – from sachets, mini bottles and replicas
to mini tubes, cartons and flow-wraps - in volumes ranging
from 100,000s to 100s of millions annually.
New product introductions
The launch of any new product creates a need for investment
in plant, machinery and, usually, personnel. We help our
customers to realise more and better concepts, faster -
with no disruption to their existing production schedules
and supply chains.
Passing responsibility for material sourcing, manufacturing,
packing and supply chain management to a specialist partner
enables focus, accelerates new product implementations,
and reduces cycle times and switching costs. Accordingly,
a growing number of customers are coming to depend
on our support throughout the manufacturing process -
from development and prototyping, through to volume
manufacturing, packing and distribution.
