The R&D challenge

Innovation doesn't wait for spare capacity.

Chemical companies are asked to innovate faster, with teams that are already fully committed.

01

Stretched in-house teams

Core R&D staff split time between plant support and new product work.

02

Shorter development cycles

Customers expect new grades, greener routes and cost reductions sooner.

03

Scale-up risk

Chemistry that works in a flask often behaves differently at pilot scale.

Our role

An extension of your R&D team.

We take on defined research problems and return results you can manufacture.

From idea to plant

Start at any stage.

Clients can start with us at any stage and stay through to transfer.

01Route scouting
02Synthesis
03Process development
04Pilot plant
05Technology transfer

Analytical, testing and regulatory support runs alongside every stage.
