What the customer wanted:
The brand approached Hera in 2022 with an exciting opportunity to manufacture their solid balm deodorants after their previous manufacturer went into administration.
The brand offers a subscription service & want to have a positive impact on reducing the amount of plastic in bathrooms.
How we addressed their needs:
The product was complex to manufacturer as needed to be mixed and filled at high temperature but cooled rapidly.
The brand had custom packaging and other manufacturers had struggled to make their product.
They needed a solution and a new manufacturing partner quickly as were out of stock, we committed to respond quickly and take an initial trial order to prove we could provide the right solution.
How it was a success:
After a successful media covering and marketing campaigns our customer the brand continues to grow rapidly.
We were able to respond quickly by being flexible with their order quantities & lead time to meet the increased order demand. Due to the exciting increase in order volume we produced a specially adapted hot fill production line with a cooling tunnel in a matter of weeks.
This started with 5000 balms filled per week and we now achieve 5000 finished filled balms per day.
We are proud that we can be part of a brands journey who share our values for sustainable personal care, providing a waterless and plastic free solution for consumers.
