Attendees will have the opportunity to visit the Portland Bee Balm warehouse and get an inside look at how our products are made and distributed. The event will begin with a short introduction to the company, including the story behind Portland Bee Balm and how the business has grown from a small local operation into a nationally distributed brand.

Guests will then take part in a guided walkthrough of the warehouse and production areas, where they will see how our lip balms are manufactured, filled, packaged, and prepared for shipment. Along the way, we will explain the sourcing of our ingredients, our production process, and the operational systems that allow us to scale while maintaining product quality.

Attendees will also have time to ask questions, connect with members of our team, and learn more about entrepreneurship, product development, and building a consumer brand. The event will conclude with time for informal networking and conversation.

By the end of the visit, guests will leave with a clearer understanding of how a small consumer product brand operates day-to-day, from product formulation and manufacturing to logistics, distribution, and sales.

Portland Bee Balm is a Portland, Oregon–based company that produces all-natural beeswax lip balm made with a short list of simple, thoughtfully sourced ingredients. Our products are crafted using Pacific Northwest beeswax and high-quality oils, and are designed to provide effective, long-lasting lip care without unnecessary additives.

The company began as a small local venture and has grown into a nationally distributed brand sold in grocery stores, gift shops, natural markets, and other retailers across the United States. Portland Bee Balm focuses on creating everyday essentials that are approachable, giftable, and made with clean ingredients people can trust.

The event will take place at the Portland Bee Balm warehouse, which serves as the hub for production, packaging, and distribution. From this facility, our team manufactures products, prepares wholesale orders, and ships to retailers around the country.

Visitors will get a firsthand look at the operations behind a growing consumer packaged goods company and learn how a Portland-based brand brings its products from raw ingredients to store shelves.

We can't wait to see you there!
