Supplement manufacturers near me: Tampa Bay, FL
HBM operates three Tampa Bay facilities, including a 60,000 sq ft gummy plant in St. Petersburg.
For buyers searching supplement manufacturers near me in Tampa Bay, HBM operates three facilities in the region. The gummy plant sits in St. Petersburg, FL: 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) for 90 million gummies per month. The liquid program runs 2,500L of mixing capacity and 25,000 liters per day. HBM holds 8 certifications. The Tampa Bay address means a buyer can drive to the floor, sit with R&D, and walk the line. Most US contract manufacturers route gummy production to a partner. HBM does not.
“Near me” usually means two things. Can the buyer visit the plant. Can the manufacturer ship inside US lead times without customs friction. HBM answers both from Tampa Bay. The headquarters and all three production facilities sit in the region. R&D, formulation, depositing, filling, packaging, and shipping happen under one quality system and one batch record chain.
Where HBM sits on the map
HBM is headquartered in Tampa Bay, FL with three facilities in the region. The gummy facility is in St. Petersburg, FL. It runs as two 30,000 sq ft production buildings plus a dedicated 3,000 sq ft R&D lab. The entire footprint is 100% temperature controlled. Tampa Bay sits inside one of the largest US distribution corridors. Port of Tampa, Tampa International Airport, and direct I-75 and I-4 routes serve the Southeast and the Midwest. Domestic freight from St. Petersburg reaches most US 3PLs in 2-5 business days.
What "near me" gets a buyer
Three things change when the manufacturer is reachable by car or a one-leg flight: – Facility visits. Buyers can audit the floor before they sign a PO. They can sit through a pilot batch in person. – Faster R&D cycles. Bench samples ship inside the US. Tasting sessions can happen in the St. Petersburg R&D lab. – No customs handoff. Domestic-only freight removes the 2-4 month delay overseas manufacturers add at port clearance. For brands sensitive to launch dates, that compresses the timeline between formula approval and shelf-ready stock.
What runs in Tampa Bay
The gummy line covers both sugar and sugar-free clean-label base systems, pectin-based deposition, starchless production, and custom molds (starting at ~$20,000). MOQ is 300,000 units at standard sizes, 600,000 at smaller sizes. Gummy sizes run 2g, 3g, 4g, 5g, and 6g. The liquid program runs 2,500L of total mixing capacity across three 500L vessels and one 1,000L vessel. Daily output is 25,000 liters. Fill range on the semi-automatic lines is 3ml to 64oz. Systems covered: water-based, oil-based, emulsion, liposomal, and suspension. Liquid MOQ is 3,000 units or 150 liters.
What the certifications cover
HBM holds 8 certifications across the Tampa Bay facilities: FDA Registration, NSF, Non-GMO Project Verified, USDA Organic, Ecocert, Health Canada, Florida DBPR, and Made in USA. Every batch produced in St. Petersburg is covered by the same quality system and the same batch record chain. That single quality system matters when a buyer compares HBM to a US sales office routing production to an overseas plant. The audit trail does not cross borders.
How a Tampa supplement manufacturer compresses lead times
Quote to commercial run is a 10-step framework. Quote turnaround is 24 hours. Bench samples land in 2-4 weeks. Pilot batch runs in another 2-4 weeks. Commercial production runs in 4-8 weeks. Because R&D and production share the St. Petersburg site, the handoff between bench and pilot does not require shipping a formula to a partner plant. That removes the 2-4 week handoff window that most contract manufacturers absorb at scale-up.
