Supplement manufacturing capacity at HBM
90 million gummies and 750,000 liters per month, in-house at Tampa Bay, FL.
HBM's supplement manufacturing capacity covers two formats in-house. Gummies run at 90,000,000 units per month across four continuous depositing stations at 300KG/hour each (two run at a time). Liquids run at 750,000 liters per month across 2,500L of jacketed mixing capacity and six packaging lines. Both formats sit under one quality system and the same eight certifications, including FDA Registration, NSF, USDA Organic, and Non-GMO Project Verified. Production is split across three facilities in Tampa Bay, FL, with the gummy site at two 30,000 sq ft buildings in St. Petersburg. Most contract manufacturers route one of these formats to a partner. HBM does not.
Capacity is the question buyers ask after they decide HBM can hit the formula. The honest answer is two numbers per format, not one. Rated throughput and actual sustained output are different things. Below are both, plus the equipment they run on.
Gummy supplement manufacturing capacity
HBM’s gummy facility produces 3,000,000 gummies per day and 90,000,000 per month. Four continuous depositing stations run at 300KG/hour each (two run at a time). Combined rated throughput is 600KG/hour. Average gummy weight is 3.75 grams, with sizes from 2g to 6g. Packaging runs on two automatic lines plus one sachet filler. The automatic lines pack 40,000 60-count units per day, or 1,200,000 per month. The sachet line adds 50,000 units per day, or 1,500,000 per month. The facility is two 30,000 sq ft buildings in St. Petersburg, FL. A 3,000 sq ft R&D lab sits on site. The full footprint is 100% temperature controlled. Bench sample to commercial run happens under one roof. Gummy MOQ is 300,000 units at standard sizes. At smaller mold sizes, MOQ rises to 600,000 units to keep depositor changeover economics workable.
Liquid supplement manufacturing capacity
HBM’s liquid facility produces 25,000 liters per day and 750,000 liters per month. Mixing runs on four jacketed vessels with high-speed roto-stators and sweeping blades. Three vessels are 500L and one is 1,000L. Total mixing capacity is 2,500L per cycle. Packaging runs on five semi-automatic lines and one fully automatic line. Semi-automatic lines fill 3ml to 64oz at 10,000 units per day per line. The fully automatic line fills 0.5oz to 4oz at 30,000 units per day. Liquid MOQ is 3,000 units or 150 liters, whichever comes first. Supported systems include water-based, oil-based, emulsion, liposomal, and suspension. Product types include tinctures, syrups, shots, and functional beverages.
Why in-house capacity matters
Most US contract manufacturers run one format and partner out the other. The handoff costs two to four months per project and adds a second quality system to qualify. HBM runs both formats under one batch record chain. A brand that scales from 50,000 units a month to 500,000 units a month at HBM does not switch facilities. It does not re-qualify a new supplier. Same equipment register. Same eight certifications. Same R&D team that wrote the bench formula. That continuity is the point. Capacity numbers matter most when the brand actually grows into them.
Production calendar assumptions
Monthly numbers above assume two 8-hour shifts per day across 30 days. Single-shift operation halves the daily output and the monthly ceiling. Pilot batches and bench runs draw from the same equipment pool. Commercial scheduling accounts for both.
Frequently asked questions
What is HBM's monthly gummy production capacity?
HBM produces 90,000,000 gummies per month. The figure comes from four continuous depositing stations running at 300KG/hour each (two run at a time). Daily output is 3,000,000 gummies across two 8-hour shifts. The gummy facility is two 30,000 sq ft buildings in St. Petersburg, FL. All gummy production runs in-house under HBM's eight certifications.
What is HBM's monthly liquid production capacity?
HBM produces 750,000 liters of liquid supplements per month. Daily output is 25,000 liters. Mixing runs on 2,500L of total jacketed capacity across four vessels. Packaging runs on five semi-automatic lines and one fully automatic line. HBM handles water-based, oil-based, emulsion, liposomal, and suspension systems in-house.
Does HBM partner out any production?
HBM runs gummies and liquids in-house. Both formats sit under one quality system and one batch record chain. Capsules, tablets, softgels, powders, and stick packs are not part of the public offering. HBM routes those formats to vetted partners case-by-case when a brand needs a full portfolio. The two in-house formats are where HBM holds the spec end to end.
What are the minimum order quantities at HBM?
Gummy MOQ is 300,000 units at standard mold sizes. At smaller mold sizes, MOQ rises to 600,000 units. Liquid MOQ is 3,000 units or 150 liters, whichever comes first. HBM holds these numbers consistent across pilot and commercial runs. The MOQs reflect depositor and filler economics, not arbitrary minimums.
How quickly can HBM move from bench sample to commercial production?
Bench samples take 2 to 4 weeks at HBM. Pilot batches add another 2 to 4 weeks. Commercial production runs 4 to 8 weeks after the pilot approves. A formal preliminary estimate lands within 24 hours of the discovery call. The exact timing depends on formula complexity and packaging readiness.
