What is Third Party Manufacturing?
Third-party manufacturing (also called contract manufacturing or loan licensing) is an arrangement where a pharmaceutical company (the principal/marketer) outsources the manufacturing of its products to a licensed manufacturing facility (the third party/manufacturer). The products are manufactured under the marketer’s brand name and label.
Benefits of Third Party Manufacturing
- No Capital Investment: Start your own pharma brand without investing in a manufacturing plant
- Faster Market Entry: Launch products within 2-3 months instead of 2-3 years for setting up a plant
- Focus on Marketing: Concentrate resources on sales and distribution while the manufacturer handles production
- Wide Product Range: Access hundreds of formulations without developing them in-house
- Regulatory Compliance: Leverage the manufacturer’s existing licenses, certifications, and quality systems
- Scalability: Scale volumes up or down based on demand without fixed overhead
How Third Party Manufacturing Works
- Product Selection: Choose from the manufacturer’s existing product range or request custom formulations
- Legal Agreement: Sign a manufacturing and supply agreement covering pricing, MOQ, quality standards, and delivery timelines
- Brand Registration: Register your brand name and design your product labels and packaging
- Drug License: Obtain a wholesale drug license (Form 20B/21B) from your state drug authority
- Loan License: The manufacturer applies for a loan license to manufacture products on your behalf
- Production & Delivery: Place orders, manufacturer produces and ships to your specified locations
