Finding Kosher Certified Copackers
The U.S. contract packaging market is expected to have an annual compounded annual growth rate (CAGR) of over 12% from 2021 to 2025 according to the reporting firm Research and Markets. For many companies, contract manufacturing can be more cost-effective, allowing them to focus on their core businesses. Outsourcing manufacturing can also help provide access to new regional markets for those in the U.S. and for those in other countries interested in selling to the US market.
OU Kosher has just launched its copacker directory providing an opportunity for OU Kosher-certified copackers to offer their services to OU Kosher certified companies.
