The co-pack matchmaker.
Co-Packer Match brings you food and beverage founders who fit your lines, and screens out the ones who don't. Free to list. Free to receive introductions.
Most inquiries were never going to be a fit.
An idea with no recipe. A hot-fill sauce for a cold-fill line. Five hundred units when your minimum is five thousand. Every one of them still takes a call, an email or a quote. Co-Packer Match does that sorting for you, before a founder ever reaches your inbox.

How it works for manufacturers
Claim your free listing.
Confirm what you run: processes, packaging, certifications, minimums, and what you will not make.
We screen every founder.
We ask about their product, recipe readiness, process, package, volume per run, launch timing and the certifications their retailers require.
You get introductions that fit.
Each request goes to no more than three plants, never blasted to a list. Take the conversation or pass. There is no obligation and no fee.

Why plants list with us
Free, start to finish.
No listing fee, no fee per introduction.
We work on your behalf.

Fewer wrong calls.
Founders below your minimum or outside your processes are not sent to you.
Your contact details stay private.
We never publish your phone, email or website, so the introductions you get are the ones we screened.
You stay in control.
Set your minimums, the categories you take, whether you take first-time brands, and when you are not accepting new work.
Your listing, accurate.
Every listing starts from the information you publish yourself, dated the day we checked it. Claim it to correct anything, add what you run, or remove it entirely.

Questions about listing
Is it really free?
Yes. Listing and introductions are free for manufacturers and for founders.
How does Co-Packer Match make money?
Co-Packer Match is run by Lead Systems Go, a marketing agency. Some manufacturers choose to hire Lead Systems Go to run advertising that brings in more of the brands they want. That is optional and separate from your listing and introductions.
Do you share my contact information?
No. Founders reach you through us, and we only introduce founders after they approve it and after we have checked the fit.
Do I have to take every introduction?
No. Reply to the ones you want and pass on the rest.
Can I change or remove my listing?
Yes, any time, through the claim form.
