This allows our clients to focus their attention on running their business and marketing their products, while relying on our expertise to address the many technical and regulatory issues.
Larger firms rely on our services to complement their own in-house capabilities.
For example, our chemistry and microbiology laboratories are often used to augment or verify internal quality control results, and to perform more complex analyses such as nutritional evaluations and screening for pesticide residues and pathogenic bacteria. Also, our expertise in sensory evaluation techniques is used to perform independent assessments of new products, or to conduct preference tests against competitors' products. Both large and small companies are aware of the benefits of using our pilot plant for test market production of new products. This helps to minimize risk by delaying capital expenditures until the results of the test market launch are known. For larger companies, production problems associated with tying up large-scale processing facilities to produce small quantities may be eliminated.
