Innovation and Customization

• About 15%-20% of our global personnel are active in our laboratories
• We continue to develop new products so we can reach our goal of exceeding 30% of our sales from new products.
• We continuously grow our R&D facilities and hire personnel to protect R&D's role as a key core competence.
• We encourage our customers to provide us with their formulations in order to give us the opportunity to not only find the best additive, but in the case of formulated additives such as defoamers, we often develop new additives customized for the specific customer's needs.
• We consider ourselves to be the industry's customizer.
