Cleaning products production
Looking for an alternative to "bottler" for Abfüller. The company in question makes cleaning products and this particular facility produces dishwasher products. Sentence reads "Die Kooperation mit einem der größten Produzenten und Abfüller stimmt uns optimistisch für die Zukunft. Dishwasher products often come in powder or tablet form, so bottler is not quite right in this context.

packaging plant / contract packager
One has to be careful with Erich Krämer's "Fachwörterbuch Verpackung", but in that case I agree with the suggestion.

Comment: "Yes, I think packaging is better, as it is not just bottles, but could be boxes or plastic containers as well"

bottling factory
but it may very well be that these products for dishwater are bottled. that´s why I would use this term also in English, i.e. bottling factory for Abfüller.
