CONTRACT MANUFACTURING
Vitaquest International
Vitaquest International has manufactured dietary supplements for over 40 years from its three facilities in West Caldwell, New Jersey. The company was the first nutraceutical manufacturer in the United States to earn FSSC 22000 certification. They report holding USP Quality Systems GMP verification, a higher standard than typical cGMP compliance, though USP Verified status could not be confirmed through the USP Verified Products directory as of March 2026. Vitaquest serves over 500 brands globally and produces more than 4,000 products. Their capabilities include specialty dosage forms like effervescent tablets, orally disintegrating tablets, and microencapsulated ingredients. A dedicated particle engineering facility handles complex formulations that most manufacturers cannot produce. The company employs 500 to 700 people and produces roughly 3 billion capsule doses and 2 billion tablet doses per year. Lead times run 12 to 16 weeks for first-time orders, longer than smaller manufacturers but typical for this scale of operation.
