Manufacturing

About manufacturing

We manufacture pressurised aerosol products to an agreed formulation, filling, packaging and quality specification. Depending on the project, this can include product development, filling, labelling and production planning.

You sell aerosol products under your own brand while Alqaed handles manufacturing — so you can launch a product line without building a production facility.

We manufacture to the specifications your company provides, including formulation, technical requirements, branding and packaging.

Personal care and body sprays, camping gas, home care, industrial and automotive aerosols, and pet and insect care products — under our BeOK and BOOF brands or yours.

Yes. We manufacture under your brand (private label) and to your own technical specifications (OEM).

Our production follows ISO 9001 and UN 2037 standards.

Africa & shipping

About shipping and documentation

We can provide product documentation. Contact us with your destination country and the documents your regulator requires, and we will tell you what we can supply.

Aerosols and gas cartridges are classified as dangerous goods, so they must be packed and declared accordingly. Contact us to discuss ports, routes and shipping terms for your destination.

Yes, labelling and branding are part of our private label service. Tell us the languages and market requirements you need — for example French for Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal or Cameroon.

We welcome inquiries from importers and distributors across Africa, including Nigeria, Ghana, Kenya, Côte d’Ivoire, Senegal, Cameroon, Egypt and South Africa. We discuss your destination country’s rules at the start of every project.

Ordering

About ordering

MOQ depends on the product, the packaging and whether the order is ready-made, private label or OEM. Send us your requirements and we will confirm MOQ and lead time for your project.

Lead times vary with the product, quantity and level of customisation. Share your project details and we will confirm a realistic timeline.

Send us the product, can size, estimated quantity and destination country through our contact form or WhatsApp. We’ll reply with pricing and next steps.
