Why use toll blending services?

Cost

The number one reason most companies outsource their custom blending needs is to save money. It’s typically just too cost prohibitive for most companies to invest in the necessary equipment and human resources to safely manufacture their own products.  Special processing facilities and very expensive storage equipment both require regular inspection and maintenance due to the high danger of leaking and possible containment failure.  The equipment itself is also quite expensive and most toll blending companies probably already have the technical knowledge to blend even the most complex formulas.

Safety

Another big concern for many companies is the hazardous ingredients needed for some formulas.  Some things are better off never coming anywhere near your employees or facilities.

Quality Control

Consistency and quality control are critical in most formulas and even the slightest error can ruin an entire batch costing time and money.  Some formulas require many steps and can take days or weeks to complete, increasing the risk of error.  Using an experienced and specialized company will often include some level of protection against loss and turn out a far superior product in the end.
