2018 PRODUCT GUIDE ABOUT US Your Contract Manufacturer

ABOUT US

Raining Rose started in 1996 as a hobby out of a family kitchen and was purchased in 2003 by two former telecommunications executives, one of whom serves as our CEO. Based in Cedar Rapids, Iowa, our company prides itself in honesty and integrity, remaining committed to creating products using only the highest quality ingredients. We have worked with both small and large brands, so we understand the intricacies of servicing retailers with varying needs and scopes. Our goal is to be a company that is easy to work with and earns your loyalty through our dedication and service.

While we strive to use as many organic ingredients as possible, we believe in full ingredient disclosure and labels that accurately reflect the organic content of our products. We also consistently work to maximize our efficiency and eliminate waste, recycling nearly all our materials and implementing practical solutions to be as lean as possible.

Our core values form ASPIRE: Attitude, Safety, Passion, Integrity, Relationship, and Evolve. These values drive our decision making and are the reasons we have a staff of reliable, friendly people always ready to assist our customers. Thanks to our vertically integrated model, we have the ability to be flexible to meet your ever-changing needs — this means when you work with us, you can rest assured that your brand is in the care of a company you can trust.

Customer Compliance: The Importance The success of your brand and our ability to extend your brand’s representation is greatly dependent on how Raining Rose accepts materials in our facility and how we work through the process of production. It can be difficult to forecast the sales of your brand, and having a just-in-time strategy can put pressure on your organization to ensure both you and your partners have adequate inventory. This is especially true when sell-through happens more quickly than expected. Due to this reality, it’s very important to provide all materials on time to allow for better-than-expected product sales and avoid emergency timeline situations.

Customer Compliance: The Process Once we receive your purchase order, our Purchasing team will immediately order any raw materials you’ll need, including all ingredients and components. Any raw materials and/or components that you will be supplying need to be in-hands to us with full documentation within the firm three-week timeline outlined in the diagram above. When you send us your customer supplied materials, you must communicate tracking information to your sales assistant prior to shipment. Please keep in mind that Raining Rose tests every raw material before acceptance, which is included in the three-week time frame. Our standard testing procedures range from organoleptic and assay to chemical and physical depending on the unique formula. ABOUT US
