Gummy manufacturer running production in-house
Four depositing stations, 90M gummies per month, one quality system from bench to commercial.
HBM is a gummy manufacturer running production in-house at a St. Petersburg, FL facility. The site covers two 30,000 sq ft buildings plus a 3,000 sq ft R&D lab, 100% temperature controlled. Four continuous depositing stations run at 300KG/hour each (two run at a time). Combined throughput is 600KG/hour, or 3,000,000 gummies per day and 90,000,000 per month. Lines support sugar and sugar-free clean-label pectin base systems, starchless options, and custom molds. MOQ is 300,000 units. HBM holds 8 certifications including FDA Registration, NSF, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified. Most US contract manufacturers route gummy production to a partner. HBM does not.
HBM runs gummies in-house. Four continuous depositing stations at 300KG/hour each (two run at a time), 90M gummies per month, starchless lines, and both sugar and sugar-free pectin base systems.

From inquiry to shipment
- NDA signing
Mutual NDA before any formula or commercial detail is exchanged. - Discovery call
Target dose, active load, base system, packaging, target market. - Formula review
R&D reviews active compatibility with pectin deposition at 95-105°C. - Formal preliminary estimate
Cost, MOQ, and lead time returned within 24 hours. - Bench samples
Texture, flavor, and active load validated. 2-4 weeks. - Packaging review
Bottle, pouch, or sachet selection. Label specs locked. - Formal quote and purchase order
Final pricing tied to confirmed MOQ and packaging. - Pilot batch
Production-scale run to confirm specs. 2-4 weeks. - Commercial production
Full-volume run on the continuous depositing line. 4-8 weeks. - Final release and shipment
Batch record, COA, and release to ship.
Bench to commercial happens under one roof. That removes the handoff where most projects lose two to four months.

Frequently asked questions
What is HBM's gummy manufacturing capacity?
HBM runs four continuous depositing stations at the St. Petersburg, FL facility. Each station produces 300KG/hour. Combined throughput is 600KG/hour. That equals 3,000,000 gummies per day and 90,000,000 per month. Two automatic packaging lines handle 40,000 60-count units per day. HBM also runs one sachet filler at 50,000 sachets per day.
What is the minimum order quantity for HBM gummies?
HBM's standard gummy MOQ is 300,000 units. The MOQ rises to 600,000 units at smaller mold sizes. Gummy weights run 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g, and 6g, with a 3.75g average. Standard molds are Cube and Gum Drop. Custom molds are available starting at ~$20,000 and vary by complexity.
What base systems does HBM offer?
HBM offers two clean-label pectin base systems. The sugar base uses tapioca syrup, cane sugar, water, and pectin. The sugar-free base uses FOS chicory root fiber, allulose, water, and pectin. Both include natural flavor, natural color, sodium citrate, and citric acid under 2%. The sugar version is most popular for taste.
How long does it take HBM to deliver a gummy run?
HBM returns a formal preliminary estimate in 24 hours. Bench samples take 2-4 weeks. Pilot batch takes 2-4 weeks. Commercial production takes 4-8 weeks. Total timeline from signed NDA to shipped commercial run typically lands between 10 and 18 weeks. Variance comes from active complexity and custom packaging.
What active loads can HBM run in a gummy?
HBM runs active loads of 10-17% by weight on average. The theoretical maximum is 33%. Above 17%, texture and flavor become harder to manage. Heat-sensitive actives need review against the 95-105°C pectin deposition temperature. Mineral-heavy blends may interfere with the pectin gel and require formulation adjustment at the bench stage.
