About Encapsulon

At Encapsulon, we are passionate about empowering businesses to bring their innovative ideas to life. Founded by Karthik Maniam, Manishi Mehta and Shashi Goyal our mission is to deliver high-quality soft gels with speed, flexibility, and smaller minimum order quantities. We understand the challenges of launching new products, and we’re here to support startups and growing businesses by providing reliable, efficient, and scalable soft gel solutions.


Our Founder’s Journey

Manishi Mehta brings a wealth of experience and a unique perspective to Encapsulon. A mechanical engineering graduate from Thapar Institute of Engineering and Technology in Patiala, India, and an MBA in Information Technology from Schiller International University in Florida, Manishi has built a diverse career spanning over three decades.


With over 10 years of experience setting up petrochemical plants across India, Thailand, and Indonesia, Manishi developed a strong foundation in operational excellence and project management. He then transitioned to the corporate world, serving as the Global Head of IT Sales for a Fortune 150 company in Melville, USA, for another decade. His expertise in technology and sales strategy has been instrumental in shaping Encapsulon’s customer-centric approach.


For the past 8 years, Manishi has also successfully run a retail convenience store franchise on Long Island, honing his entrepreneurial skills and deepening his understanding of small business needs. This diverse background inspired him to create Encapsulon—a company that bridges the gap between quality manufacturing and the unique requirements of emerging businesses.

Our Commitment

At Encapsulon, we believe that every great product starts with a great partnership. Whether you’re a startup or an established brand, we’re here to provide the support, flexibility, and quality you need to succeed. Our streamlined processes, combined with Manishi’s vision and expertise, ensure that your products are delivered on time, every time.


Join us on our mission to redefine the soft gel industry—one soft gel at a time.


Our Solvent-Free Manufacturing Plant

All of the premium supplements manufactured by us are produced on-site in a world-class facility. We have set the “gold standard” when it comes to the manufacturing of soft gelatin capsules. Each batch is manufactured according to current Good Manufacturing Practices (GMPs) for dietary supplements. Quality is constantly monitored during every step of the manufacturing process to achieve the highest level of technical excellence in softgel production.


We have invested millions of dollars to purchase precision, state-of-the-art blending, and encapsulation equipment, which enable us to consistently manufacture the finest softgels for our customers. The encapsulation and inspection processes occur in temperature-controlled areas. We have automated many of the inspection and packaging processes with precision equipment designed to FDA 21 CFR (Code of Federal Regulations) Part 111 requirements, which helps increase throughput. We embrace corporate transparency through our meticulous quality assurance procedures and comprehensive QC testing.


Softgel production is a very unique and complicated process; not every manufacturer can do it. While softgels can be difficult to manufacture because water-soluble/hydrophilic materials are not easily encapsulated and the operators who run the encapsulation machine have to be well-trained and competent to learn the techniques for smooth and efficient operation, we have innovated ways to overcome these challenges. We specialize and thrive in encapsulating formulas that others thought weren’t possible in softgels. We have a production team who, with high precision and constant oversight, monitors and controls the gelatin temperature, ribbon thickness, seam width, and fill quantity during manufacturing.

In-House Analytical Laboratory

One of our strongest company attributes is our well-equipped, state-of-the-art, chemical analytical laboratory and the staff who run it. Highly-trained chemists and technicians create an environment of product integrity with complete confidentiality and full compliance with state and federal regulations. All work performed in our lab facility is in accordance with current Good Laboratory Practices (cGLPs). Our sophisticated laboratory instruments exceed industry standards, are subject to annual Operational Qualification/Performance Verification, and are 21 CFR Part 11 compliant.


Quality Control (QC) provides testing through all stages of production, from incoming raw material testing and identification, in-process quality checks, and final product testing for potency and quality of the products we manufacture. QC uses state-of-the-art instruments such as:


High-Performance Liquid Chromatography (HPLC) Gas Chromatography (GC) Atomic Absorption (AA)


We use independent third-party testing laboratories since they offer unbiased analytical testing to support the quality of our products and meet customer requirements. These labs are an extension of our in-house laboratory. We qualify each of our third-party labs by verifying their data is technically sound, ISO/IEC 17025 accredited, and cGMP and GLP compliant.


When you partner with us, we can assist with real-time stability data. We highly encourage our customers to perform regular audits of our facility, where they can look at batch records, raw material certificates of analysis, and ensure that we are doing all of the testing required for GMP compliance.

Corporate Conservation

We are committed to sustainability and practice corporate conservation. Here’s how we’re reducing our environmental footprint:

Soft Gel is proud to contribute to Vitamin Angels’ efforts to create a healthier world for all. Last year alone, they reached over 74 million mothers and children in the US and globally, with life-changing nutrition interventions.

Building a Greener Future One Kilowatt-Hour at a Time

We have incorporated a 260-kilowatt co-generation machine that generates electricity using natural gas. When the power is generated, heat is produced and can be harnessed for other elements, such as heating water for our boiler. We also have invested in two additional chiller units (45 and 75 tons, respectively) as part of our manufacturing capabilities. This eco-friendly upgrade to our facility supplies us with an uninterrupted source of power, independent of the California Power Grid. By providing 80% of our own power, we can be considered a reliable and environmentally-conscious supplier.



By adopting a strategy of lean manufacturing and green thinking, we have streamlined our production process and are utilizing our resources more efficiently. We are committed to saving more than just trees. We have reduced the amount of gelatin left over from each manufacturing run and sell the remnants to other industries, so that there is less waste.
