Our Ecosystem

Two Core Engines. One Connected Network.

Wiki CPG brings together two major CPG platforms: Conzumables on the brand and marketplace side, and the Contract Manufacturing Alliance on the product and manufacturing side.

Consumer-brand professionals connected to a modern product manufacturing line

Conzumables

Helping Build, Launch and Grow Consumer Brands

Conzumables was created to become a comprehensive consumer product advisory and development organization helping start-up, emerging and established brands move from initial product concepts through creation and ultimately into the marketplace.

The organization combines generations of consumer product experience with professionals who have worked throughout major areas of the CPG industry.

The team's history includes involvement as founders, co-founders, equity partners, advisors and launch partners with emerging consumer brands, along with experience assisting numerous companies that later appeared on Shark Tank.
