Deep Technical Expertise, Trusted by Top Players in Business and Government
As a small business, we deeply value every project we work on. Each project is led by an experienced member of our team, all highly credentialed and with years (often decades) of experience at some of the top materials companies in Massachusetts. Comprised of synthetic and polymer chemists, chemical engineers, materials scientists, and physical/analytical chemists, our staff has performed R&D projects for some of the country’s most innovative companies. Our capabilities service both the commercial and government sectors, including demanding customers in the Army, Navy, Air Force, DARPA, IARPA, NIOSH, DTRA, NIH, and other agencies.
Quick Turnaround Times and Responsiveness
Our company size and R&D knowledge allows us to be nimble even in a highly regulated industry, allowing us to make decisions rapidly and work alongside and be in the trenches working with you in hours or days. When necessary we can provide ideas in days and new materials in a week or two, depending on the complexity of the solution
One Stop Solution for Service and Product
Sometimes your requirement is simply for a chemical or material that you know will do the job, but isn’t commercially available. Whether you need milligrams or tens of kilograms, we have the capabilities to make it for you in-house. If you need hundreds of kilograms or more, we’ll partner with a producer and work with them every step of the way to ensure that the material meets your specifications. If you have a problem that can’t be solved with a known material, we’ll design one that does the job, test it to ensure it works, and produce it for you: acting as your one stop shop for development and production. If your need is for materials analysis rather than development or production, we can do that too, as analysis is an essential part of our development process.
