Mid-Size Sports Nutrition Manufacturer

When a major fitness brand approached this manufacturer with an opportunity to produce 50,000 jars of pre-workout supplement monthly—more than double their current capacity—they faced a critical decision. Their existing blending equipment could only handle 5,000-pound batches, creating a production bottleneck. They needed to expand quickly but had limited floor space and no time to waste on trial-and-error solutions.

SW Equipment Group's engineers conducted a thorough assessment of the facility and production needs. Rather than simply recommending a larger blender, they designed a comprehensive solution:

‍

1. Engineering: Created a custom layout that maximized the available floor space while planning for future expansion
2. Procurement: Sourced a specialized 12,000-pound ribbon blender with faster blend times and quicker cleanout between batches
3. Installation: Managed the installation process, including coordinating electrical upgrades and ensuring proper integration with existing conveying systems

With SW Equipment Group's end-to-end solution, the manufacturer successfully:

‍

• Increased blending capacity by 140% without requiring facility expansion
• Reduced blend times by 35%, significantly increasing overall production speed
• Secured the contract with the national brand, leading to a 78% revenue increase
• Positioned themselves for future growth with a scalable production system

"SW Equipment Group transformed our operation when we needed it most," says the Operations Director. "They didn't just sell us equipment—they engineered a complete solution that solved our immediate capacity challenge while setting us up for long-term growth."
