Bettani Farms, formerly known as Climax Foods, made significant strides in 2025 with acquisitions of plant-based companies and the launch of a high-stretch mozzarella alternative aimed at revolutionizing the vegan cheese market. Led by CEO Sandeep Patel, the company is focused on increasing distribution of its dairy-free cheese products and tapping into the away-from-home market, including pizzerias and other foodservice locations.

The acquisitions of Hungry Planet, Numu, and Stockeld Dreamery have allowed Bettani Farms to expand its product portfolio and distribution channels, addressing challenges such as the 'cold start' issue in the market. With a new funding round of $6.5M and plans for further investments, the company is set to scale up production, launch new products, and establish partnerships with CPG companies to drive growth in the vegan cheese category.
