We're not your average, run-of-the-mill R & D group! Not that there is anything wrong with being average. We're just a little more unconventional.

We've been around for over 30 years and seem to have the ability to break long-standing paradigms. In fact, people say we have an uncanny ability to find the obvious in hindsight…to shake up old thinking in even older industries. Perhaps it's due to our unusual, campus-like atmosphere in the middle of nowhere. More likely, it's due to the collection of characters that make up the cast.

Our facilities include advanced computer-modeling and rapid-prototyping equipment, state-of-the-art analytical laboratories and a series of special-purpose test rooms to support investigations in diverse fields including physics, plasma physics, mechanics, electronics, thermoplastics, materials science and agriculture.

You'll find our creativity in more than five-hundred issued and pending patents, ranging from pushing the boundaries of cyclonic separation to breaking molecular bonds selectively to form special compounds. And next time you buy a household appliances or see your home being built, you just might find us there too.

But the best is yet to come. We're having loads of fun identifying never-been-done-before approaches to manufacturing, so that budding entrepreneurs can make a future with modest capital investment, a small footprint for production and greatly reduced energy requirements.

Now that sound like a plan…developing and teaching "Sustainable Technologies for a Better Future."™
