A True Partner

Through detailed ingredient screening and product development & evaluation methods, the CuliNEX team helped us compress our development timelines. They were incredibly collaborative, working side-by-side with our team to find the perfect solution to meet our revised project needs. Given our experience working through all these challenges with the team, we can wholeheartedly recommend CuliNEX as a true partner in development.

Delivering on Promises

In recommending CuliNEX to others, we would say their expertise in the food space and organized process are incredibly impressive. We’ve come across many others that have promised results in various areas that have been subpar. From the beginning CuliNEX demonstrated a clear understanding of our product, the ingredients we used, and the expectations for our market. They demonstrated a systematic approach of how they would go about making improvements and kept us updated throughout each step. We had complete faith throughout that they would be able to deliver to help us reach our goals.

An Extension of Our Team

As a small team with big goals, CuliNEX has been critical to Brainiac®'s growth and success. They are a trusted partner and an extension of our team and have helped us work faster and smarter to achieve monumental goals. We've worked with CuliNEX on a project and retainer basis, and they continue to be a Swiss army knife in our toolkit, thanks to the breadth and depth of the team's expertise across R&D and Operations. I could not recommend them more highly.
