Increnovo

What Increnovo does

Increnovo LLC is a privately held, Milwaukee-based B2B consulting company (founded 2007, 1-10 employees) that delivers scientific research and development, raw material sourcing, distribution, and product marketing services to the dietary supplement, food and beverage, and cosmeceutical industries. The firm's core offering is expert-led consulting grounded in applied nutrition science — covering clinical validation, ingredient application development, and intellectual property strategy for ingredient suppliers, consumer brand companies, and distributors. Its two research leads, Dr. Ralf Jäger and Dr. Martin Purpura, anchor the value proposition through peer-reviewed publications, conference presence, and a portfolio of granted US patents developed on behalf of clients including TSI Group, Chemi Nutra, and Axiom Foods.

The company monetizes through professional-services fees (consulting, product development, marketing strategy, sourcing and distribution) supplemented by intellectual property development revenue, including licensing/royalties tied to newly invented ingredients or novel applications for existing ones. Through a core partnership with Swiss equipment manufacturer Gerteis Maschinen + Processengineering AG, Increnovo also resells and supports PACTOR® and POLYGRAN® dry granulation/roller compaction equipment into pharmaceutical, food, and chemical production environments, adding a capital-equipment channel to its advisory practice. Go-to-market is sales-led and content-driven, leveraging scientific publications, industry event presentations (ISSN, SupplySide, Vitafoods, Probiota, IPA), and news/blog content as top-of-funnel demand generation.

Increnovo's operating footprint spans North America, Europe, South Africa, and Asia-Pacific (China, Japan, South Korea, Malaysia) via a network of ingredient supplier and distributor relationships, enabling cross-border sourcing and market access for clients. The firm has no disclosed external funding, no parent company, and no public listings; ownership and operations appear founder- and principal-driven.

Direct peers

• AIDP: US-based ingredient supplier that combines proprietary branded ingredients with R&D, formulation, and marketing support to nutraceutical and functional food brands. Directly comparable to Increnovo's blend of scientific consulting, ingredient sourcing, and product marketing services.
• Barrington Nutritionals: Specialty ingredient distributor and consulting partner serving dietary supplement and functional food brands with sourcing, formulation, and technical support. Comparable to Increnovo in serving the same supplement industry with sourcing plus technical services.
• Sprim: Life sciences and health/nutrition consulting firm that advises ingredient suppliers and consumer health brands on scientific, regulatory, and commercial strategy. Closely comparable to Increnovo in offering science-led consulting services to the nutrition and supplement industry.

Broad incumbents

• Intertek: Global quality assurance, testing, inspection, and certification company serving the food, supplement, and life sciences industries. Comparable in providing technical/scientific services to nutrition clients, but at a vastly larger scale and with broader capabilities.
• NSF International: Global public health and safety organization offering testing, certification, and consulting services across food, supplements, and life sciences. Overlaps with Increnovo on the scientific consulting/testing side, but operates at much larger scale across many verticals.
• SGS: Global testing, inspection, and certification company with a significant food and nutrition practice. Comparable in offering scientific and regulatory services to nutrition and supplement clients, but at substantially larger scale and broader scope.
• Eurofins Scientific: World-leading food, pharmaceutical, and supplement testing and consulting group with extensive laboratory and regulatory service offerings. Comparable to Increnovo in serving nutrition clients with science-backed services, but as a broad incumbent across many industries.

Others

• Tate & Lyle: Global ingredient supplier of food and beverage texturants, sweeteners, and functional ingredients. Comparable in serving the same food/beverage and supplement end markets that Increnovo supports, though as a large-scale ingredient producer rather than a consulting firm.
• Gerteis Maschinen + Processengineering AG: Swiss manufacturer of roller compaction and dry granulation equipment for pharmaceutical, food, and chemical applications. Increnovo's Core technology partner; included as a peer because the equipment line is a key part of Increnovo's offering, even though Gerteis is also a partner.
• Mérieux NutriSciences: Food safety, testing, labeling, and regulatory consulting firm serving the food and supplement industries. Comparable in providing science-led services to nutrition clients, but as a broader testing and regulatory incumbent.
