The Center of Innovation and Excellence
Every craftsperson needs their studio. Every scientist needs their laboratory. We’ve brought both together here at our state-of-the-art facilities in the Seattle area. We invite you to look for yourself and see behind the curtains where the food we can only dream of comes to life.
Be a Part of Generation NEX
You’re creative. You’re passionate about food. You like to surround yourself with industry leaders who prioritize your personal growth. You belong with us. We are actively hiring for positions posted here and hoping to connect with those looking to learn about a broad range of categories in clean label, plant-based, and other areas of the food industry. Want to be a part of this welcoming and challenging environment? Let’s set up a fika (coffee chat).
