Pics of Our cGMP Facility

[rms80]

These are pics of our mfg. facility in Charlotte- I will post more in the near future- just wanted to show you guys how we do things here at AN

Here are more of our warehouses- we have 4 separate connected warehouses, plus mfg.- with a total of 12,000 square feet. We are literally busting at the seams right now- we need 25K s.f. ........

Thanks for the sneak peek

Very nice....how much of a pain in the ass was it to get certified?

[rms80]

Huge- but it was worth it- it was a 3 year side project on my end- probably the hardest part was developing written procedures for mfg. each product (different for each sku), analytical procedures, lab protocol, operating and cleaning machinery, intake of raws, testing protocol, packaging instructions, etc. We have some pretty decent hardware up in here now- an automatic encapsulator and a semi (75K/hr. capacity with both machines), multiple process equipment for mixing and granulating, a pretty decent packaging line with induction and heat-sealing, plus our own analytical lab with the capability to do ID, Assay, micro, pH, disintegration, bulk density, gravimetric analysis, etc. I will post pics of that on Monday when I get back in....

This is really cool looking. Thanks for the inside information and pictures of the facility.

[rms80]

No problem- if you guys want to know about the whole process- formulating, manufacturing, R&D, analytical testing, etc.- I can give you some pretty good insight...I am not a huge marketing guy- I dabble- but this is what separates our company from everyone else out there

Very nice.

[rms80]

Thx guys- if you are ever in CLT., lmk- we can set up a tour

thanks for sharing this, Dirk. just another reason to love App Nut!!

**ps. still waiting for cool down**

[Whacked]

WOW. Must have cost a small fortune to get started

[prld2gr8ns]

Nice!! Thanks for the insight.

[MAxximal]

Sweet!

[rms80]

Almost there on the Cool Down- formulation is done- but it has been a bitch to source....

[rms80]

It wasn't cheap- but this is something that you do in stages- if you plan correctly, you can do it in an incremental fashion so the associated costs don't kill you and you can space them out. On the compliance side and analytical side, you can either pay someone to do it, or do it yourself- I am glad that I did it myself, because it gives you a much greater understanding of your own products and the process behind them......

[R1balla]

for sure....maybe around end of august we will see cool down's release

[Colochine]

Looks good. I currently work in a QA lab so I'm curious as to how your lab will be set up and what kind of instruments you are using.

[rms80]

Sure thing- I will post some pics today
