Vitaquest's Impressive Capacity
As a best-in-class capsule manufacturing company, our manufacturing capacity is nearly 3 billion doses per year. This high yield accommodates a wide range of order quantities and quick turnaround times.
The significance of this is the ability to turn on a dime when a valued customer has an unusual request or requires a much larger order than usual—especially in a situation where an order needs to be completed more quickly.
In addition, Vitaquest’s impressive capacity means that our stock of capsules is significant, so it is far less likely to have delays due to a short supply of capsules. This also means that our purchasing power with capsule suppliers is significant, allowing us to provide you—our customer—with the best possible pricing for encapsulated products.
Likewise, the fact that we specialize in acid-resistant, delayed-release capsules allows you to easily bring high quality probiotic supplements to your customers in a timely manner.
