How would you like to start?
Start with one of our existing formulas, work with us to develop your own, or bring us a product you need manufactured.
White label
Have a brand? Start with a proven formula already in production—no custom development required.
Time to first production run
1–3 months
Custom private label
Have a brief? We develop and test a formula against your performance, ingredient, and price targets—then scale it for production.
Time to first production run
4–6 months
Contract manufacturing
Have a product? We evaluate your formula or sample, resolve cost, quality, or supply issues, and get it ready for production.
Time to first production run
4–9 months
launches & production transfers
From new product launches to U.S. production transfers.
14 weeks
A direct-selling brand needed a plant-derived laundry sheet that met a national retailer’s ingredient standard. Formulation, testing and packaging trials ran in parallel.
6 SKUs
A personal care brand needed an alternative to an overseas supplier. We matched six products from retail samples, sourced domestically and transferred production to Meridian.
Customer names withheld. References available during qualification.
From bench sample to finished batch
01
Develop for performance, stability and repeatable production.
02
Establish the mixing process your formula needs at production volume.
03
Match your product’s flow and viscosity to the right filling process.
Production capacity, independent quality
Every batch is sampled and tested. Independent QA controls finished-goods release. Process water undergoes reverse osmosis, EDI and UV treatment with continuous recirculation.

Five trends are reshaping U.S. laundry and home care. Explore what they mean for private-label brands planning their next product.
Unit volume is flat to down across U.S. laundry and home care, yet innovation is rising. Five trends, what national-brand pricing reveals, and where private label and new brands can win.
Plan your production
Minimum orders, lead times and what we need to quote.
Typical starting quantities at Intermountain Whitecat vary by format:
| Bottled liquids | 5,000 units |
|---|---|
| Gels, pods, & tablets | 10,000 units |
| Powder & sheets | 25,000 units |
Smaller pilot runs for new formulas are quoted separately and include a setup charge.
8–16 weeks
Typical custom development to a stable bench sample
This is a development milestone, not a finished-order delivery timeline.
Production follows testing and approval. Overall lead time also depends on formula readiness, packaging availability and production scheduling.
Quote timing depends on whether your formula, packaging and order requirements are defined. Projects requiring formulation work or additional specifications may need further review before production can be priced.
Send your project brief to begin that review.
Our options support three starting points:
White label
Start with an existing formula for your brand.
Custom private label
Develop a formula around your product requirements.
Contract manufacturing
Evaluate and manufacture your existing formula.
The right option depends on whether you need a ready-to-brand product, custom development or a production transfer.
Intermountain Whitecat supports laundry care, household cleaning, personal care and pet care projects.
Share your product type, formula status and packaging format so we can assess manufacturing fit.
Yes. We can develop from a product brief, evaluate an existing formula for production transfer, or use a finished sample as a development reference.
Please do not submit confidential formulas or technical documents until an NDA is in place.
Start with:
Nonconfidential specifications, packaging drawings or product photographs can help us assess the project.
