Formulation & development

We develop, adjust and replicate formulations to the client's requirements. You can bring an existing formula, an idea to refine, or go straight to manufacturing against a defined specification.

Why CTL?

Reducing the risk of outsourcing your production

Your formula stays here

Confidentiality is built into the operating model, not an add-on clause. CTL manufactures exclusively for third parties: with no house-brand product, there's no possible conflict of interest, and every formulation is covered by contract before we receive the first technical data sheet.

Formula access restricted by role, with documented traceability.
Physical segregation of raw material and finished product by client.
Manufacturing exclusively for third parties, with no house brand.

Certifications & standing

Standards backed by independent certifications and audits

Quality management system
ISO 9001:2015

Current process compliance and audits, applied to formulation, manufacturing and packaging.

Why Guatemala?

A manufacturing platform for the Americas

Guatemala brings manufacturing, storage and logistics together in a single country, close to both North and Central America from one operation.

How we work

From first conversation to dispatch

01

Initial conversation & NDA

We understand your need and cover confidentiality by contract.

02

Technical data sheet or sample

We receive your specification, sample, or reference formulation.

03

Pilot batch with CoA

We produce a trial batch with its certificate of analysis.

04

Scale-up & dispatch

We move to recurring production and coordinate dispatch.

You can start with a single product or a demand spike — no need to change your whole operation.

International reach

Clients in the United States, South America and Central America, working alongside suppliers in China, Europe and Africa.

Frequently asked questions

What they ask before the first call

What kinds of products and formulations can you manufacture?

We specialize in agrochemicals and fertilizers: liquids, powders and granules, in SL, EC, SC, WP, DP and GR formulations, plus industrial chemicals subject to prior technical evaluation.

Can I contract a specific service, or do I need the full solution?

Each module —formulation, manufacturing, packaging, storage or logistics— is contracted independently. You don’t need to commit to the full cycle.

What is your production capacity?

We have capacity for high recurring volumes as well as projects starting with pilot batches. The exact figure depends on your formulation; our team confirms it during technical evaluation.

How do you protect the confidentiality of my formulation?

We cover every formulation by contract before receiving any technical specification, with role-restricted access and physical segregation of materials by client. CTL manufactures exclusively for third parties.

What advantages does manufacturing in Guatemala offer?

Guatemala brings manufacturing, storage and logistics together in one country, geographically close to both North and Central America from a single operation.

What industries do you serve?

Agrochemicals and fertilizers are our longest-standing sector; our capabilities also apply to industrial chemicals, technically evaluated before commitment.
