Manufacturers are facing nearly unprecedented pressure to get more products to market quickly and profitably. But, with greater quantities of product comes a greater risk for failed product quality.

It could be an expensive mistake, especially when added on top of steadily rising production costs.

## Toll Manufacturing Bottom line

To align product quantity and quality goals with a profitable bottom line, many companies outsource materials processing to a trusted toll manufacturer.

The decision realizes some immediate cost efficiencies:

- **No capital investment.** The toller’s processing facility has the specialized equipment, labor, and other resources necessary to get the job done
- **Experience pays dividends.** The breadth of companies, industries, and materials toll manufacturers work with provides [an expert knowledge base](https://www.customprocessingservices.com/blog/raw-materials-impact-toll-processing) that’s instrumental in solving challenges. That means arriving at exact physical and chemical compositions for formulations that deliver consistent high-quality outcomes while keeping costs in check
- **Production liabilities are covered.** Toll manufacturers assume responsibility for the safety, environmental needs, compliance, catastrophic incident prevention, and other liabilities presented by processing certain industrial materials
- **Economical end-to-end services.** Depending on the toll manufacturer, project scheduling, training, repackaging, logistics, etc., may all be handled completely within the toller’s processing facility

## 6 Examples of How Toll Manufacturers Saved Companies Money

Learning how companies can save money by [partnering with toll manufacturers](https://www.customprocessingservices.com/blog/toll-processing-101-what-you-need-to-know) is great, but nothing beats proof. Here are 6 real-world examples:

- **Fewer steps, no product disposal. **A company’s product required milling, treating, and classifying — resulting in some product disposal. When a toll manufacturing partner identified a way to reduce the process to only treating and milling, product disposal was eliminated. Not surprisingly, the application of materials processing expertise resulted in significant savings.

- **Powder particle reprocessing. **When a company’s powder material went through a classifying and screening process, oversized particles were removed and discarded. The toll processor intervened with steps for further processing of the larger particles to minimize materials waste.

- **Jet mill switch. **Milling material in its own spiral jet mill turned out not to be the cost-saving measure this company anticipated. A broad PSD curve was created, and an additional classifying/screening step was needed to remove coarse tails. The toll manufacturer recommended running the material through a [fluid bed jet mill](https://www.customprocessingservices.com/blog/jet-milling-fluid-bed-and-conventional) with an internal classifier. The substitution eliminated the tail and reduced the process to one step.

- **Logistics management. **A top-level toll manufacturer took ownership of a company’s freight to keep costs down.

- **Co-packaging creativity. **A full-service toll manufacturer got creative in solving a company’s need to reduce co-packers in the supply chain. Adding packaging stations within the toller processing facility solved the problem and also created additional savings for the company.

- **Engineering for faster processing. **For this company, a toll manufacturer implemented engineering practices that increased the processing throughput rate and lowered the originally quoted price.

As companies strategize to get higher-quality products to market faster than ever before, costs are a concern. However, selecting a toll manufacturer based on price point likely isn’t the bargain it appears to be on its face.

Instead, partnering with a toll processor that adds demonstrated value provides a return on investment that helps to reduce and manage costs.
