# ESHA Research and FoodLogiQ Merge to Form Trustwell

Share <http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell> <https://twitter.com/intent/tweet?original_referer=https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell&url=https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell&source=tweetbutton> <http://www.linkedin.com/shareArticle?mini=true&url=https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell> [mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell](mailto:?subject=Check%20out%20https://blog.trustwell.com/trustwell)

DURHAM, NC - February 15, 2023 -- Following the merger of [ESHA Research](http://www.esha.com) and [FoodLogiQ](http://www.foodlogiq.com) in October 2022, the organization today announced they will rebrand under the new name, [Trustwell](http://www.trustwell.com). The combined business creates the food industry’s only software platform connecting product development and regulatory compliant labeling into supplier compliance, enhanced traceability and automated recall management.  

![trustwell-esha-foodlogiq-merge-banner](https://blog.trustwell.com/hs-fs/hubfs/Trustwell-Logo/trustwell-esha-foodlogiq-merge-banner.jpg?width=4700&height=796&name=trustwell-esha-foodlogiq-merge-banner.jpg)Combining FoodLogiQ’s [supply chain management software](https://www.trustwell.com/products/foodlogiq/) with Genesis’ [nutritional analysis and label development solution](https://www.trustwell.com/products/genesis/), the Trustwell Connect platform will change the evolving landscape of food tech. In addition, Trustwell's combined [leadership team](https://www.trustwell.com/why-trustwell/our-team/) brings together expertise representing a combined 100 years in the food industry.  

Brought in to lead the combined organization, Trustwell’s new CEO, [Stephen Bruce](https://www.trustwell.com/team-bios/stephen-bruce/), brings over 25 years of experience in the technology industry and a proven history of building and scaling effective SaaS companies. Bruce most recently served as the Managing Director of the software group at LTG and previously held numerous executive roles for PeopleFluent, Aptean, Infor, and Geac.  

“Our new name embodies the most critical element within the food industry, trust; the trust our customers establish with their consumers and the trust our customers have in our software to increase transparency and mitigate brand risk in their supply chains,” said Bruce.  

ESHA Research and FoodLogiQ have both established themselves as [pioneers in the food industry](https://www.trustwell.com/why-trustwell/). ESHA launched the food industry’s first comprehensive nutrition database to develop compliant labels, while FoodLogiQ contributed to the FDA’s traceability pilots that helped mold the Food Safety Modernization Act. By bringing together these two powerhouse names, Trustwell is the food industry’s trusted source for compliance and quality solutions in the food industry.  

“Trustwell introduces a complementary [suite of solutions](https://www.trustwell.com/platform/) that provide greater operational efficiencies and transparency throughout the entire food supply chain,” said Bruce.  

Investment for the transaction, announced in October 2022, was provided by The Riverside Company, a global private investor focused on the smaller end of the middle market.  

**Operational announcements in conjunction with this rebranding announcement:** 

- FoodLogiQ CEO [Katy Jones](https://www.trustwell.com/team-bios/katy-jones-2/) will continue in the new role of Chief Strategy and Marketing Officer at Trustwell.  
- The Trustwell Connect platform will be driven by the FoodLogiQ product suite, enabling supplier management, food safety compliance, quality incident management, recall management and whole chain traceability, and the Genesis product suite, offering nutritional analysis and label development solutions to ensure regulatory compliance.
