A Passion for Functional Materials

Our impressive Product Process Innovation team has decades of experience in turning our clients’ ideas into a commercial reality. Whether it’s a technical transfer of an existing process or complete development of a new concept, we enable success by bringing a true partnership, working closely at every peer level to bring a sense of common ownership in every client experience. Our development and technical transfer work is guided by a strong Quality by Design (QbD) philosophy that ensures our processes are robust, reproducible, and cost effective when transferring to commercial scale manufacturing.

Our team has developed and scaled-up literally hundreds of processes and all of our laboratory and pilot/process scale equipment has been carefully correlated to our commercial equipment, ensuring a smooth scale up to full commercial scale.
