About Us
ELIS Manufacturing & Packaging Solutions
Ten years in. Still a family business. Now on shelves around the world.
ELIS Manufacturing & Packaging Solutions isn’t your typical contract manufacturer and packager. We’re a company built on a different philosophy, one that stems from our own experiences and a desire to do things better.
ELIS Manufacturing & Packaging Solutions started at one family’s kitchen table in Kaufman, Texas. A decade later, the products we make for our customers are stocked in major retailers from coast to coast and the recipe behind that growth hasn’t changed.
We take a turn-key approach, handling every step of the process from design to delivery. Our expertise, cutting-edge equipment, and adaptable processes are designed to streamline your product launch and eliminate the headaches.
The Name Behind the Company
It’s not a random collection of letters. It’s a tribute.
“ELIS is named after my Papa, Ellis. If you look at our photo, he’s the man standing proudly on the right—the ultimate inspiration for everything we do. Growing up, he was a larger-than-life figure who always had an answer for everything. Naming the company after him was my way of ensuring his relentless work ethic is built into every single bottle, pouch, and stick pack that leaves our facility. Every milestone, every certification, and every customer relationship we’ve earned is because that exact same work ethic still runs our floor today.”
— Keith Vinson, Owner & CEO
Quality
GMP-certified. FDA-registered. The same standards on day one of a 2,000-unit run as on day ten of a 200,000-unit run.
Service
We pick up the phone. Your project manager knows your product, your timeline, and your launch window
Family
Ten years in, founder-led, and still answering questions the way Papa Ellis taught us — straight.
Why ELIS Exists
We’ve been on both sides of this business.
ELIS didn’t start as a contract manufacturer. We started as brand owners ourselves, with our own product line on the line. And in the process of trying to bring those products to market, we learned what every brand learns the hard way: most contract packagers are not built to care about your business.
Missed deadlines. Sloppy quality. Phone calls that went unanswered. We lived through every one of them and we built ELIS so other brands wouldn’t have to.
That’s why every customer who works with us gets two things most co-manufacturers can’t offer: a turn-key partner who handles design-to-delivery under one roof, and a team that knows exactly how it feels to be on your side of the table.
Where Our Customers’ Products Live
We make it in Kaufman. Your customers buy it everywhere.
From a single facility in Kaufman, Texas, the products we make for our customers reach shelves across the United States and around the world.
If you’ve been to one of these stores, there’s a good chance you’ve held an ELIS product in your hands.
Let’s Talk About Your Product
Ten years of “yes” to the questions other contract manufacturers say no to.
If you’ve been burned by a co-packer before, you already know what we know. Let’s have a real conversation about your product, your timeline, and your launch.
The Family Behind The Family
We don’t just mean Papa Ellis.
We mean the Vinsons who run this company today — and the team of problem-solvers, innovators, and quality-first folks who walk through our doors every morning and treat your product like it’s their own.
Keith Vinson
Owner & CEO
Keith is the grandson of Papa Ellis — and the reason ELIS exists. He started the company after living through what it’s like to be a brand owner on the wrong end of an unreliable co-packer. Ten years later, he still picks up the phone.
Bonnie Vinson
Chief Business Officer
Bonnie runs the business side of ELIS the same way she’d run her own kitchen — with care, structure, and a refusal to cut corners. She’s the reason every customer relationship feels personal.
Zoie Vinson
Operations Process Manager
Zoie is the architect behind the scenes, turning “how do we do this?” into a seamless “here’s how it’s done.” She keeps the ELIS engine humming with the kind of precision that makes the complex look easy.
The rest of the team isn’t named Vinson — but they’ve all been told they might as well be.
