Co-packers in British Columbia
Natural products and supplements, with the Pacific gateway attached.
Why manufacturing concentrates here
British Columbia has a well-established natural health products and supplement manufacturing sector, alongside beverage and seafood processing, concentrated in the Lower Mainland around Vancouver.
The Port of Vancouver is the practical draw for anything with imported inputs from Asia-Pacific — landing ingredients close to where they will be used removes an expensive inland leg.
It is also the natural base for brands whose market is the US west coast rather than eastern Canada, which is a genuinely different distribution decision.
What to check before you commit
- Natural health products have their own federal regimeNHPs require a product licence and an NPN from Health Canada, and the site needs a site licence. This is separate from food regulation and slower than most brands expect.
- Confirm the site licence covers your dosage formA site licensed for capsules is not automatically licensed for liquids or powders.
- Distribution east is a real costVancouver to Toronto is a long way. If your market is central Canada, model the freight before choosing on capability alone.
