A core strategic activity is continuous research and development to improve current products, production and processes, to develop new products and innovative, advanced technological methods for processing our products.

Ideas are generated from our customers, our industry partners, our own team and from research. The ideas are then input into the New Product Development (NPD) process where they are rigorously screened prior to selection for development approval.

Following the approval process there is further screening and testing of the product internally initially and then in the market place through our customers before going through a final sign off subject to meeting strict criteria in regard to market potential and commerciality.
