Co-Development
From your idea to a product you can sell
Bring us an idea or a gap in your range and we develop the product with you, from first concept and recipe through sampling to a scaled, certified production run. You keep the brand and the direction; we bring the formulation know-how, the Ceylon ingredients and the facility to make it at volume.
Concept and recipe
We turn a brief into a working recipe, balancing taste, cost, shelf life and the claim you want to make.
Sampling and iteration
You taste and test real samples, and we adjust the formulation until it is right before any commitment to volume.
Ingredient sourcing
We source the Ceylon ingredients the recipe needs directly, so what you develop is what you can actually buy at scale.
Scale-up to production
Once the recipe is signed off, we take it from bench sample to a full certified production run on the same line.
Process

Why us
Why Co-Development with Silk Route Ventures
We source what we formulate
The Ceylon ingredients a recipe needs are sourced directly, so a formulation that works on the bench is one you can buy at scale.
Bench to certified run, one roof
Development and the certified facility that manufactures it sit together, so nothing is lost handing a recipe to a separate factory.
Pilot before you commit
A first run at minimum order quantity lets you prove a new product in market before committing volume.
Documentation from run one
Specification, certificate of analysis, MSDS, nutrition facts and process flow come with the first production batch, not later.
