These entities specialize in producing gluten-free food products that are branded and sold under a retailer’s or another company’s name. For instance, a grocery store chain might contract with such a manufacturer to create a line of gluten-free snacks or baked goods bearing the store’s brand. The manufacturer handles the production, while the client focuses on marketing and distribution.
Employing such manufacturers offers several advantages, including cost savings, increased brand control, and the ability to quickly expand product lines without significant capital investment in manufacturing facilities. Historically, this approach has enabled smaller companies to compete effectively against larger, established brands, particularly in niche markets like gluten-free foods, where consumer demand is rapidly growing.
