Helmsman Group Expands Pilot Plant Capabilities with New Slab-Form Energy Bar Line

Helmsman Group is proud to announce the latest expansion of its fully licensed Pilot Plant located in Portland, Oregon. Under the leadership of Mark Haas-founder of Bridgetown Natural Foods-Helmsman has added a state-of-the-art slab-form energy bar line, significantly enhancing its ability to support early-stage product development in the snacking category.

This new capability strengthens Helmsman's position as one of the only fully licensed, client-facing pilot plants in North America. The facility plays a critical role in helping brands develop minimum viable products (MVPs), enabling rapid test-and-learn cycles with retail and consumer partners.

"Our goal is to close the gap between concept and commercialization," said Haas. "This expansion allows us to better support brands looking to validate product-market fit in real-world conditions, without the overhead and delays of traditional production runs."

Helmsman's Pilot Plant supports a wide range of product formats across snacking, baking, and better-for-you categories, serving both emerging and established brands looking to accelerate innovation. See more at www.helmsmangroup.com
