150 Years of Innovation, Reimagined

In an industry defined by constant evolution, few milestones carry the weight of a 150-year anniversary. Fewer still use that milestone as a catalyst for transformation. Bradford Soap Works and Solo Laboratories have joined forces and are celebrating the 150-year mark by unveiling a unified brand identity, Bradford Labs. 

The rebrand is more than a name change. It is a strategic alignment of capabilities, vision, and customer focus, built to meet the growing demands of personal care brands seeking innovation, speed, and scale from a single, trusted manufacturing partner. 

EXPANDED CAPABILITIES, GREATER VALUE FOR BRAND PARTNERS

Today, the company supports product development and manufacturing across aerosols, liquids, solids and hot pour formats, spanning applications in skin, hair, body and home care, as well as OTC products. This evolution reflects a broader shift in the personal care landscape, as brands move beyond single-format portfolios in search of manufacturers with comprehensive product offerings. 

Bradford Labs offers a full-service model that ranges from custom formulation to market-ready products to tech transfer. Bradford Labs is one of the few manufacturers that is vertically integrated across aerosols, liquids and solids, including bar soap. 

Bradford Labs has expanded to four locations across the nation, including facilities in a key Midwest region. With facilities strategically located across the United States, Bradford Labs is positioned to support its customers coast to coast, offering unparalleled flexibility.  

MEETING THE NEEDS OF MODERN BRANDS

Today’s personal care industry operates in a landscape defined by rapid trend cycles, increased regulatory complexity, and growing consumer expectations around performance, sustainability and transparency.

Bradford Labs is uniquely positioned to address an unmet need in the market by offering one partner with integrated solutions across aerosol, liquid, and solid formats, bringing flexibility, innovation and a focused approach on masstige and prestige brands. 

A NEW PRESENCE FOR INNOVATION

In support of the expanded product offerings and capabilities, Bradford Labs has not only adopted a new name but also a full visual and strategic refresh designed to communicate the company’s value proposition with greater clarity and authority. The redesign aligns the combined company’s look and feel with a new logo, website, and other branded materials. 

The new name, Bradford Labs, signals Bradford Soap Works, Inc. and Solo Laboratories Inc. joining forces as one full-service partner across aerosols, liquids, and solids, including hot pour. It reinforces both companies’ shared heritage rooted in continuous advancement, technical excellence and an uncompromising commitment to quality. This new company logo carries forward the red “B” from Bradford Soap Works, a deliberate nod to the company’s heritage and core values.

Bradford Labs also launched a new website designed to function as a “digital destination” for the personal care industry at bradfordlabs.com. The site showcases the full breadth of the company’s expanded R&D resources, technical expertise, and commitment to innovation. This gives brands a clearer view of Bradford Labs’ full-service offering and its role as a strategic partner from formulation through manufacturing. 

As the personal care industry continues to evolve, the ability to move seamlessly across formats, scale innovation and bring products to market with speed and with confidence will define the next generation of brand leaders.

With 150 years of expertise and a newly unified platform, Bradford Labs is positioned not just to support that evolution, but to help shape it.
