YOUR OWN PRODUCTION SPACE
Build your first production line, without building a plant.
Pilot manufacturing is the stage where your first production line takes shape. A pilot manufacturing pod gives your team a dedicated production bay at LifeSpace Labs to develop that line, generate material for supplier testing and produce your first saleable materials. We provide the facility and the utilities, and we support the facility modifications your line needs. You bring your equipment, your process and your people.

WHO IT'S FOR
For teams making pilot production work.
Contract manufacturers are set up for large, repeat orders, not for developing a new line. Few providers offer the workflow in between, so you end up building pilot production yourself.
A pod gives you the space to do it.
01
Outgrowing the lab - Your process works at bench scale, and you are ready to build the first production line.
02
Proving the line - Set up, test and refine the line before committing to a full plant.
03
Preparing for launch - Make material for supplier testing and saleable materials for your first customers.
INDUSTRIES
Built for companies setting up their first production line.
Pilot manufacturing pods suit companies with a small number of products and order sizes too small for a large manufacturer. Typical uses include:
Food and beverage
Beverages, sauces, snacks and specialty ingredients for first retail and food-service orders.
Nutrition and supplements
Powders, functional ingredients and supplement products at launch volumes.
Personal care and cosmetics
Creams, lotions and liquid formulations with a small number of products.
Agricultural products
Biostimulants, soil amendments and other inputs for field trials and first sales.
Bio-based materials and chemicals
Sustainable materials, enzymes and specialty chemicals moving from pilot to market.
Pet and animal health
Treats, supplements and feed additives for early commercial runs.
