SV Labs Brings Direct Compression Tablet Manufacturing for Beauty and Home Care to the U.S., Expanding Anhydrous Capabilities and Domestic Supply Chain Resilience

SV Labs, a leading contract and development manufacturing organization (CDMO) for beauty and personal care products, announces the successful completion of a 12-month investment in U.S.-based production with the launch of direct compression tablet technology—now fully operational at the company’s Beach facility in Watsonville, CA. This new capability delivers a cost-effective, scalable solution for North American brands developing solid-format products across beauty, personal care and home care categories.

Tailored for the evolving demands of sustainable product design, SV Labs’ direct compression line enables the creation of concentrated tablets that reduce water use, support refillable systems, and minimize the environmental impact and cost of shipping. Most direct compression technology for beauty, personal care and home care products has been concentrated in Asia historically. By localizing this capability in the U.S., SV Labs offers a domestic alternative, delivering commercial-scale efficiency, high-quality production, streamlined supply chains, and speed to market.

“The driving force behind this investment was clear: our customers,” said Graham Orriss, CEO of SV Labs. “They’re asking for more sustainable formats, local supply chains, and smarter ways to innovate. By bringing direct compression technology to the U.S., we not only meet those needs, but also make it easier to collaborate with our partners on formulation and product development.”

Direct compression adds to the growing toolbox of anhydrous technologies that SV Labs now offers its customers, joining wet granulation, hot pours, powders, effervescents, and more. With this addition, SV Labs further strengthens its position as a clear leader in the anhydrous space, offering the widest variety of anhydrous solutions to beauty, personal care and home care brands. Backed by nearly 50 years of expertise and supported by integrated formulation, operational, and manufacturing excellence, SV Labs provides unmatched flexibility and depth in delivering sustainable, high-performance product formats.

“We’re proud to support SV Labs in expanding its capabilities with direct compression,” said Scott Potter, Partner at San Francisco Equity Partners (SFEP). “This investment reinforces SV Labs’ leadership in the anhydrous space and reflects our shared belief in the long-term potential of sustainable beauty, personal care and home care product formats.”

SV Labs operates four manufacturing sites across the U.S. and Canada, each specializing in unique technologies. This North American footprint provides customers with built-in business continuity, operational resilience, and the agility needed to scale and adapt in a dynamic market.

The company is also expanding hot pour capacity at its Prescott, Wisconsin, facility later this year, further solidifying its leadership in the anhydrous category and supporting the continued growth of deodorants, antiperspirants, and beauty stick formats.

SV Labs will showcase its expanded capabilities at Cosmoprof North America in Las Vegas, booth 37077, from July 15–17, 2025. Attendees are invited to explore new product formats and connect with SV’s product development and manufacturing teams.
