Cibus Nexum

Last year we had the pleasure of being introduced to the company Cibus Nexum. We were impressed by their level of expertise in the food industry, particularly concerning manufacturing and plantbased protein. We thought their experience and insight could be useful to our audience of retailers and suppliers, so we decided to learn more about them in a series of Zooms, emails, and WhatsApp communications with founder, Pascal Ruzius. He conceived the initial idea for CN and the business model has been further developed and set up together with Arjen van der Wijk. Stijn de Bats also joined as a shareholder.

We are an Independent center of expertise for food contract manufacturing. We search, find, and onboard the best co-manufacturer for your current or new and innovative food products. This is what we offer:

“We have experienced that Food Brand owners – from start-ups to large companies – have to keep reinventing the wheel. There is often no structural knowledge guarantee, for example, due to staff turnover and limited current market knowledge, and unclear outsourcing strategy. Food Contract Manufacturers, on the other hand, are often “surprised” by Brand owners and are not sure what is happening to them. This includes matters such as complex tender processes, culture & language barriers, specifications, rigid processes, and hard contract negotiations.

We have experienced that Food Brand owners – from start-ups to large companies – have to keep reinventing the wheel.

Cibus Nexum recognizes this dynamic and knows how to optimize it for both parties.
