We are proud to announce the official launch of our new website and venture: CraftSense.net!
We are Tuur and Nina, and with CraftSense, we’ve united our passions to help brewers, beverage companies and artisan creators to elevate their craft.
In today’s market, a great product isn’t always enough to guarantee success; just like a brilliant growth strategy is meaningless when the quality and consistency of your product aren’t there. Where the two worlds meet, excellence is born and that synergy is what we aim to deliver.
Whether you’re a startup or an established player, we partner with you to troubleshoot issues, expand your portfolio and build your team’s skills. We offer our services online from the comfort of your own space or on-site when a hands-on approach is needed.
The expertise behind CraftSense
Our approach is built on two complementary pillars of expertise:
- Tuur Mertens, Dr-Ing.: With a PhD in Brewing Science and hands-on experience as a Quality Manager, Tuur deep-dives into the technical challenges. From establishing robust quality control systems and optimizing processes to mastering shelf-life and flavour stability, he brings scientific rigor to your product.
- Nina De Vlieghere, Ing.: Nina brings a wealth of expertise in project and operations management, having helped food tech startups scale internationally. She excels at turning disarray into streamlined processes and guiding ambitious projects from concept to a successful market launch.
Our services include:
- Technical consulting on quality, safety, raw materials and HACCP.
- Advanced troubleshooting for production and process optimization.
- Project and operations management for scaling your business.
- Sensory training, including off-flavour courses and professional evaluation techniques.
- Engaging webinars and virtual tasting events.
