Gelnex
The Gelatin Specialists
Gelnex was the result of the collaboration between Dr. Hector Cobelo, a man who was instrumental in developing the Brazilian gelatin industry and bringing it to international prominence, and Mr. Michael Leiner, an American businessman and descendent of the Leiner Family whose name has been linked to the gelatin industry since 1776.

Their objective was to start a gelatin company that would pioneer the production of Type A pigskin gelatin in South America. In November of 1998, Gelnex opened the first pigskin gelatin manufacturing plant in South America, located in Ita, in the state of Santa Catarina, Brazil.  In October of 2004, Gelnex opened a second plant located in Nazario, in the state of Goias, Brazil to produce beefskin gelatin.  Both plants are strategically located near raw material sources.
Gelnex now counts 301 employees. Both factories utilize internationally recognized quality systems and standards including FMP’s HACCP, and ISO 2001 certification. Quality parameters are carefully monitored and checked throughout each manufacturing step to ensure the safety, consistency and performance of Gelnex gelatin products. The gelatin is certified by Kosher and Halal agencies.
Gelnex specializes in offering high quality pigskin and beefskin gelatin with exceptional functionality that is well suited for a wide array of applications in the food and pharmaceutical industries.  Gelnex gelatin is used in marshmallows and gelled confectionery, dairy products, gelled desserts, ice cream, and pharmaceutical capsules.

Gelnex gelatin is sold in virtually every major geographic marketplace, including North America, Europe, South America, and Asia/Pacific.  Our international presence means that we can assist our customers no matter where they are located.
Gelnex has an unwavering commitment to its customers.  A combination of high technology, superior quality, logistic flexibility, and technical support allows Gelnex to meet the individual needs of its customers.
