Small-Batch & Custom Run Chemical Manufacturing
Many toll manufacturers only make sense to call when you need a full truckload or a production run that goes on for weeks. Valentine can also take on smaller volumes, one-time runs, and non-standard packaging - so a one-off request doesn't have to go elsewhere.
Flexible on Volume, Format, and Process
Volume and Commitment
Not every request needs to match your standing order. If you need a smaller volume than your usual production run, or a one-time batch instead of an ongoing schedule, that's a request we can take on.
Packaging and Format
A smaller run doesn't require a tanker-scale fill. We can package into a single drum, a pail, or a small tote instead, and we offer private-label and custom container options for products going out under a different brand name. For the full range of formats we support, see our packaging and warehousing services.
Across Blending and Drying
This kind of flexibility runs across our blending and drying operations.
Our blending capacity and packaging already scale down comfortably, from a single drum or tote rather than a full tanker truck. Our spray and drum drying support the same range we use from benchtop and pilot testing through full commercial production.
For example, that could look like a smaller volume of a specialty chemical blend packaged in pails instead of a supersack, or a single non-standard run of a formula that's already approved and ready to produce.
Built for This Kind of Flexibility
We run 24/7/365, with surge capacity built into our production schedule. A custom or smaller run doesn't have to wait for an opening the way it might at a facility running standard shifts.
We also formulate, dry, blend, and package under one roof. That single-site model removes the vendor handoffs and freight delays that may otherwise slow down a non-standard order.

Frequently Asked Questions
-
No. We can take on smaller volumes, one-time runs, and non-standard packaging alongside our standing production work. If your request doesn't fit a typical large-scale order, we still want to hear about it.
-
It depends on the process, but we work across the full range - from benchtop and pilot volumes through trial validation and into full production. Reach out with the details of your request and we can scope what's realistic for your project.
-
Yes. We offer private-label and custom container options, and can package into drums, pails, totes, and other formats to match your volume. See our packaging and warehousing services for the full range of options.
-
Yes. Our QC lab sits adjacent to production and monitors every batch the same way, regardless of size.
-
Yes - we regularly take on one-time and non-standard requests without requiring an ongoing volume commitment.
