Document background
A Co-Manufacturing Agreement becomes necessary when a company seeks to outsource its production processes to a specialized manufacturer while maintaining control over product specifications and quality. This document, governed by Belgian law, establishes the legal and operational framework for such manufacturing partnerships, defining critical aspects such as production requirements, quality standards, intellectual property protection, and regulatory compliance. It is particularly important in industries where precise manufacturing specifications and quality control are essential. The agreement ensures compliance with Belgian and EU regulations while protecting both parties' interests in areas such as confidentiality, liability, and risk allocation. Companies typically use this agreement when they want to leverage external manufacturing expertise without investing in their own production facilities, or when seeking to expand production capacity through strategic partnerships.
