Integrated Bioengineering was founded by Brad Hull, PE. He noticed the multi-faceted challenges owners experience while developing commercial controlled environment agriculture (CEA) operations. His solution was to assemble a multi-disciplinary professional team and cannabis engineering company to help solve the challenges described below.
A strong, cross-functional team is required to develop winning strategies. This includes understanding how to efficently finance a developing business.

Integrated Bioengineering spent 5 weeks onsite at NDA farms providing support by commissioning a greenhouse climate management system. Our service included troubleshooting, documentation, controls programming, and vendor coordination. The final work product was a climate management guide with recommendations to better manage cannabis cultivation compartments.
The site was started with a domain identical to the company name (www.integratedbioengineering.com). Who can or would want to type that in? This led us to a simpler domain (www.integratedbio.com) that was easier to say, type, and find online.
Trademarks convey attributes and a message about your company and its reputation, products, and services.
The word “INTEGRATED” in large red capitalized letters boldly states our strategic approach – vertical integration. The focus of our practice is on Bioengineering applications, or projects that require knowledge in both plant biology and engineering sciences.
The encircled broken triangle symbolizes a lot about the firm. The equilateral triangle hints of a greenhouse gable, while the broken nature of this triangle recognizes the different entities required to be successful. These pieces precisely align to fit together to complete a different form. The blue ring is a symbol of our holistic approach. The large proportion of white space is meant to convey a sense of cleanliness like that of a white lab coat.
