About Protein Partners

Established in 2016, Protein Partners is a UK-based contract manufacturer specialising in powder-based food products. We have built our reputation on an unwavering commitment to quality, precision manufacturing and genuine partnership with the brands we work with.

Based at Unit 11, Hyde Point, Dunkirk Lane, Hyde, Cheshire, our purpose-built facility operates under some of the most rigorous production standards in the industry that are independently audited and certified to both GMP and BRCGS AA grade.

Built From the Ground Up

Protein Partners was founded with a clear purpose: to give ambitious nutrition brands access to world-class manufacturing, without compromise. What began as a specialist co-packing operation that has grown into a full-service contract manufacturing partner, supporting over 70 brands across the UK and internationally.

We are proud members of the County Milk Products group — a long-established UK food manufacturing business with a heritage spanning decades. This gives our clients access to broader ingredient sourcing capabilities, technical resource and production capacity that few independent contract manufacturers can match.
