We Will Grow With You

You don't need to outgrow your manufacturer in order to grow your business.

About Core Craft

Core Craft Nutrition is a specialized nutrition bar manufacturer located in Hebron, Ohio.

CEO Jake Jones brings 13 years of experience in nutrition bar manufacturing, including experience with a large-scale manufacturer. During that time, he saw firsthand how the traditional high-volume manufacturing model often couldn't meet the needs of smaller and emerging brands—particularly those requiring shorter runs, multiple SKUs and greater production flexibility.

Jake created Core Craft to fill that gap: a bar manufacturer with the capabilities growing brands need, built around a more flexible production model.

With the ability to accommodate shorter production runs, multiple SKUs and increasing volumes, Core Craft provides brands with a manufacturing platform they can stay with as they grow.
