Eight of them have advanced degrees, such as master’s or doctorates (including both Ph.D. and M.D.) in the scientific field. These teammates total approximately 330 years of collective experience in biology, chemistry, physics, mathematics, geological and earth science, material science, geochemistry, physical catalysis, animal nutrition, animal science, oncological nutrition and transitional medicine. FROM MINE TO MARKET Our mines are chosen based on numerous geological and geographical criteria to yield the highest quality and efficiently-delivered minerals. Each product is then rigorously tested in laboratories, pilot plants and in the field. We manufacture finished products to meet exacting quality standards and assign a dedicated team to launch, market and sell each unique mineral-based solution. INNOVATION STARTS HERE The Nick Jaffee Center for Innovation houses approximately 18,200 square feet dedicated to research, development and technical support activities. The campus includes laboratories and a Pilot Plant that simulates the production processes of our customers and our manufacturing plants. Since 2012, we have invested more than $13 million in the creation of new and exciting uses for our unique minerals.
