The company is based in Spain and operates in the food and nutrition sector, focusing on products specifically designed for people with diabetes. The cooperation sought concerns the development and manufacturing of two types of food products. The first product is a fast-acting glucose gel intended for the management of mild to moderate hypoglycemia. The gel should provide a precise dose of rapidly absorbable glucose, be easy to consume without water, and be suitable for use in daily life by people with diabetes. The formulation is expected to be simple, based mainly on dextrose, and compliant with EU food safety regulations. The second product is a zero-calorie powdered drink preparation intended to be mixed with water. It is designed for people with diabetes who want flavored beverages without increasing blood glucose levels. The product should contain non-caloric sweeteners and be suitable for regular consumption. The selected type of cooperation is industrial and technical cooperation with European manufacturers. This cooperation has been chosen to ensure product quality, regulatory compliance, and reliable long-term production. The desired outcome is the establishment of a stable partnership for formulation development, pilot production, and scalable manufacturing under private label. International cooperation is expected to involve close collaboration during formulation adjustment, cost optimization, packaging selection, and quality control. The partner manufacturer would support both product development and production, while the Spanish company would handle branding, distribution, and commercialization." Advantages and innovations The innovation of the proposed products lies primarily in their clear focus on the specific needs of people with diabetes. The glucose gel is designed as a clean and minimal formulation, using only essential ingredients to ensure fast and predictable glucose absorption. Unlike many existing products that include unnecessary additives, stimulants, or sports-oriented ingredients, this product focuses exclusively on hypoglycemia management. Its compact format and precise dosage aim to improve usability and safety. The zero-calorie powdered drink preparation addresses a common unmet need among people with diabetes: the ability to consume flavored beverages without affecting blood glucose levels. The innovation is based on offering a simple, sugar-free formulation suitable for daily use, with good taste and full compliance with EU food regulations. Both products are designed to be part of a broader, coherent product range for diabetes management, emphasizing functionality, simplicity, and regulatory clarity rather than marketing-driven features. Technical Specification or Expertise Sought The potential partner should be an experienced European manufacturer in the food or nutritional products sector, with proven capability in liquid or gel formulations and powdered drink products. For the glucose gel, the manufacturer should be able to develop a formulation delivering approximately 12–15 g of fast-acting carbohydrates per serving, primarily from dextrose. The product must be stable at room temperature, suitable for single-dose packaging (sticks or sachets), and compliant with EU food safety standards, including HACCP and relevant ISO certifications. For the zero-calorie powdered drink, experience with non-caloric sweeteners and flavor systems is required. The product must contain no sugars and have negligible impact on blood glucose levels. Compliance with EU regulations for food additives and labeling is mandatory. The partner should support formulation development, pilot batches, cost optimization, and scalable production. Flexibility in adjusting formulations to meet cost and regulatory requirements is essential. Experience with private label manufacturing and documentation for EU compliance is required. Expected role of a partner We are looking for a European industrial partner with proven experience in the food, supplements and nutrition sector. The ideal partner should have in-house capabilities for formulation development, pilot production, and large-scale manufacturing of liquid or gel-based products and powdered drink preparations. Experience with private label manufacturing is required. The partner should be familiar with EU food safety regulations and quality standards, including HACCP systems and relevant ISO certifications. The ability to provide full technical documentation, specifications, and regulatory support is essential. We are seeking a partner who can collaborate closely during the formulation phase, propose cost-efficient solutions, and adapt formulations when necessary without compromising product safety or functionality. Flexibility regarding raw materials, packaging formats, and production volumes is important. A long-term cooperation is preferred, with the objective of establishing a stable supplier relationship that supports product development, scale-up, and consistent quality over time. The partner is expected to focus on manufacturing and technical development, while commercialization, branding, and distribution will be handled by our company in Spain.
