Powder Manufacturing and Blending: Combining Expertise, Innovation and Manufacturing Capability

Established over 30 years ago, County Milk Products is a family-owned British business with a strong heritage in the dairy and food ingredients sectors. Over the years, the group has continued to develop its manufacturing capabilities and expertise, with powder blending and manufacturing now an important part of its wider offering.

Two specialist businesses within the group, County Blending Solutions and Protein Partners, operate dedicated manufacturing facilities in Hyde and Widnes. Together, they bring considerable experience in powder blending, product development and manufacturing, supporting businesses across the food, health, nutrition and functional ingredients markets.

Specialist expertise in powder blending and manufacturing

Both businesses offer a range of powder manufacturing and blending capabilities, supporting customers with different formulations, ingredients and production requirements.

Their work covers bespoke and standardised powder blending, ingredient sourcing and procurement, and the production of powders in a variety of finished formats.

Manufacturing capabilities include:

• Bespoke and standardised powder blending.

• Food, health, nutrition and functional ingredients.

• Ingredient sourcing and procurement.

• Flexible production volumes, from smaller specialist runs to larger-scale manufacturing.

• A range of finished formats, including bulk, pouches, sachets and capsules.

• Scalable production to support changing customer requirements.

The ability to accommodate different formats and production volumes is particularly relevant to businesses developing new products, expanding existing ranges or establishing private-label and own-brand products.

Two businesses with complementary capabilities

Although County Blending Solutions and Protein Partners operate as separate businesses, their combined expertise provides a broad manufacturing offering.

County Blending Solutions focuses on specialist powder blending and manufacturing, with facilities designed to accommodate a variety of ingredient and blending requirements.

Protein Partners has particular experience in the health and nutrition sector, working with start-ups, established brands and businesses developing products in the wider nutrition and wellness markets. Its capabilities extend into new product development, formulation support and contract manufacturing, helping customers progress from initial product concepts through to production.

Both businesses place importance on understanding the technical and practical requirements of each product, including ingredient selection, formulation, production processes and finished product specifications.

Developing products for an evolving market

Powder-based products continue to play an important role across the food, health and nutrition industries. From functional food ingredients and nutritional blends to specialist health and fitness products, the market encompasses a wide range of applications and increasingly varied product requirements.

Manufacturing expertise, ingredient knowledge and the ability to adapt production processes are important considerations for businesses operating in this space.

Through County Blending Solutions and Protein Partners, County Milk Products continues to build on its manufacturing heritage, bringing together specialist knowledge, dedicated facilities and product development experience.

Both businesses will be showcasing their capabilities at the White & Private Label Expo, at Stand W500, where visitors can find out more about their powder blending, product development and manufacturing operations.
