Pressure Chemical Co., a product development firm specializing in chemical synthesis and process innovations, has recently compiled a “Guide to Chemical Product Development.”
Based on case studies representing a wide range of companies such as DuPont and Metabolix, a leader in applying metabolic engineering to natural plastics, the guide promotes methods to accelerate new product and process innovation.
“Companies from many fields -- pharmaceutical, plastics, electronics, fragrance, cosmetics, commercial food and aerospace – have been asking us how they can get to the prototype stage faster,” said Lawrence Rosen, chairman and CEO of Pressure Chemical Co..
For more than 40 years, Pressure Chemical Co. has operated an independent pilot plant, supplying high-value chemicals for a wide range of industrial applications. Because of its diverse expertise in many industries, Pressure Chemical Co. is called upon frequently by companies looking to reduce lead times and costs for new product and process development.
“After working with start-ups and large companies on hundreds of proven and novel industrial processes, we have found similarities among those clients who have been successful in accelerating product development,” Rosen said. “Companies that met their development goals maintained flexibility in their process options, built a development team featuring diverse backgrounds and adhered to a hands-off management policy.”
The “Guide to Chemical Product Development” describes the Concept to Commercialization (C2C) process, which leverages the knowledge and experience of facilities similar to the test kitchens used to develop new food products.
