Pilot Runs:

We offer all development customers and new production clients a Pilot Run to ensure the product hits its method of manufacture and specification requirements before we scale up.
Pilot runs offer the opportunity to run small scale productions, whether it be a 10L run of formulations to showcase your products to investors and buyers or a 500L run to get your new product to market.
