Softgel Manufacturers in Taiwan

Start with the USA list, check the exact facility and its certificate scope, and confirm softgel fill, shell and packaging options. Ask for the minimum order, first-run and reorder lead times, testing plan and an itemized quote. Website capabilities are company claims unless a separate registry basis is shown; confirm the proposed work directly.

Ask which shell materials they run, whether they offer stock formulas or only custom fills, and how they control oxidation of oils. Shells can be bovine, porcine, fish or plant-based; also ask whether they bottle in-house. MOQs for custom softgels vary by manufacturer and are often higher than for capsules.

NSF/ANSI 455-2 is a good manufacturing practice (GMP) audit standard for dietary supplements. It is built around the US FDA’s dietary supplement GMP rule (21 CFR Part 111) and adds retailer-driven requirements, so facilities are audited against one harmonised checklist. Certification applies to a specific facility and is listed publicly by the certifier.

Ask for minimum order quantity, lead times, formulation options, testing and certificates of analysis, in writing. In detail: ask about minimum order quantity (MOQ) per SKU, lead time for a first run and for reorders, whether they offer stock formulas or custom formulation, who sources raw materials, what testing they run (identity, potency, microbiological, heavy metals) and whether you receive a certificate of analysis (COA) per batch, and whether they support the label claims you plan to make. Terms vary widely by manufacturer, so compare written answers rather than assumptions.

Ask the manufacturer for their current certificate and the exact facility address it covers, then look that facility up on the certifier’s public listing (for NSF/ANSI 455, NSF’s online listings). Certificates apply to specific sites, so make sure the facility that will make your product is the one listed. Each profile here links to the public listing we checked and the date we checked it.
