One Partner from Concept to Commercialisation

At Makin Laboratories, contract development and manufacturing means we stay with you from the first formulation discussion to the finished, labelled, and packaged product, leaving our facility in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh.

Most brands work with separate vendors for development, manufacturing, stability testing, and packaging. At Makin, all of this sits under one roof, one quality system, one point of accountability, and no handoff gaps between stages.

Whether you are launching a new product, scaling an existing formulation, or need a compliant manufacturing partner for an international market, this is what we do.

How We Work With You

A structured development process built for compliance, speed, and scale

01

Formulation Brief and Feasibility

You tell us what you need: the target health area, dosage form, intended market, regulatory requirements, and commercial goals. We review feasibility, assess the regulatory landscape for your target markets, and provide a clear formulation recommendation before any development work begins.

Deliverable: Formulation proposal with ingredient rationale, dosage form recommendation, and regulatory pathway overview.
02

Raw Material Sourcing and Specification

We source standardised, tested raw materials from qualified suppliers on your behalf. Every ingredient is specified for botanical species, extraction method, standardisation of markers, and quality parameters. Each herb-to-extract ratio and specification is documented before the first batch is manufactured.

Deliverable: Complete ingredient specifications with supplier qualification records.
03

Prototype Development

Our formulation team develops the product prototype, optimising ingredient ratios, selecting appropriate excipients, and testing for stability compatibility. Multiple iterations are evaluated for consistency and physical characteristics until the formulation meets the specification.

Deliverable: Prototype samples with preliminary analytical data.
04

Stability Testing

All formulations are tested following ICH stability guidelines, accelerated and long-term studies across the relevant climatic zones for your target markets. Shelf life is determined by data, not assumptions.

Deliverable: Stability report with confirmed shelf life.
05

Scale-Up and Commercial Manufacturing

Once the formulation is validated, we move to commercial-scale production at our WHO-GMP certified facility in Pithampur, Madhya Pradesh. Process validation, batch manufacturing records, and complete quality documentation are standard at every batch.

Deliverable: Production-ready product with full batch documentation.
06

Packaging and Dispatched

We handle primary and secondary packaging in your required format. The finished product is released once the product meets the Finished Product specification and other quality parameters. Export documentation, certificates of analysis, and regulatory paperwork are provided as needed for your market.

Deliverable: Finished, packaged, and labelled product ready for your market.
