Our Founding Story

From Industry Experience to Independent Excellence

Our founder and CEO, Matthew Bryant, didn't start Artisan Labs on a whim. With over a decade of leadership experience as CEO of another contract manufacturer in the cosmetic industry, Matthew saw an opportunity to create something better – a manufacturing partner that truly puts clients first.

In 2019, we took the leap and established Artisan Labs with a clear vision: to provide exceptional contract manufacturing services while building meaningful partnerships with beauty brands of all sizes.

As featured in KMVT Channel 11's "Behind the Business" series, our journey represents more than just business success – it's about bringing opportunity and innovation to southern Idaho while serving clients across the nation.
