About
CPGMFG.org is the CPG Own Facilities arm of the Contract Manufacturing Alliance — built by the Contract Packaging Association (est. 1992) and the Co-Packing Network, a family enterprise with over 100 years of history in consumer packaged goods.
The Foundation
The Team
Our team's background spans the largest CPG manufacturers in the world — and some of the most successful emerging brands.
Manufacturing & operations leadership across multiple product categories.
Production management, quality assurance, and supply chain at scale.
Plant management, line efficiency, and regulatory compliance.
Food safety, HACCP program development, and certifications.
Facility design, equipment sourcing, and build-out management.
Scaling from co-packing to owned manufacturing infrastructure.
Startup brand manufacturing, private label development.
Why this matters: Facility planning and equipment sourcing are easy to get wrong if you've never actually run the plant you're designing. Our team has. We've managed production floors, negotiated with equipment vendors under deadline pressure, navigated FDA audits, and turned around failing QA programs. That operational experience is embedded in everything we do.
Heritage
From 1920s supermarkets to modern CPG facilities — over a century of consumer packaged goods experience.
Family enters the CPG industry. Supermarkets, wholesaling, and food distribution across the American Southwest. A 100-year heritage in consumer packaged goods begins.
Expansion into food manufacturing and brand ownership. Building the operational knowledge that would define everything that followed.
Multiple CPG brands across food, beverage, and household categories. Deep retail relationships and an understanding of what it takes to win on shelf.
The Contract Packaging Association is established as a national non-profit trade organization. Dedicated to promoting the growth and welfare of contract packaging and manufacturing firms across North America.
The Co-Packing Network launches to serve entrepreneurs, startups, and emerging brands. 40+ Shark Tank brands. Offices in Las Vegas, Honolulu, Dallas, and Raleigh.
The Contract Manufacturing Alliance forms — eight dedicated arms covering every phase of the CPG journey. Each arm has its own domain, its own resources, and its own expertise.
CPGMFG.org is launched as the CPG Own Facilities arm — the endgame of the CREATE phase. For brands ready to own their manufacturing.
