We use our creativity and technical expertise to make great ideas work and we understand the pressure you are under to speed new products to market.
We are determined to deliver – every time.
Here, you will find pilot plants of test equipment, which perfectly replicate the performance of their full-sized counterparts. They enable us to make high-quality samples and try things out on a small scale.
We have application kitchens too, where we meet with customers to discuss challenges and opportunities. Working on recipes together, in a relaxed environment, enables us to share ideas and collaborate on new product development.
Prior to launch, our research and development teams work with operational colleagues to conduct trial runs on the full-sized production plant. This is to ensure that concepts can be scaled up successfully.
This enables us to offer a unique perspective on worldwide trends, to the benefit of customers aiming to launch in new territories.
We can provide advice too on manufacturing and quality standards, which vary country by country. This will ensure that your products meet the required specifications and legal compliance, wherever they are sold.
Our technical reference library is available, online, to all of our customers. It contains a wealth of useful information for new product development teams.
