Contract Manufacturing
In Niederwinkling, Germany, VTA operates laboratory and pilot plants, as well as multi-purpose toll distillation plants, in addition to designing and manufacturing components and turnkey plants for falling film, thin film, and short path distillation.
What is Contract Manufacturing?
Contract or toll manufacturing involves outsourcing a product’s manufacturing process to a trusted manufacturer.
We operate our toll distillation and pastillation plants 24 hours a day and 7 days a week.
The associated storage area is roof covered and ATEX certified. The raw material is supplied in drums, IBCs or tank containers. Viscous and solid products are tempered in our heating chambers. We ensure that our customer’s know-how is treated confidentially. Our analytical laboratory controls the product quality online to adjust the processing conditions immediately if necessary.
