Research and Innovation Laboratories

The journey has only just begun

"Acme-Hardesty continues to proactively exceed the expectations of our customers and suppliers and differentiate ourselves from traditional distributors.

The Collaboration Center’s new laboratory capabilities further strengthen our ability to provide value-driven solutions to our customer base."

Rishabh Shah Director of Technology: R&D, Quality Assurance and Regulatory Affairs

Acme-Hardesty has created two unique parts of the Research & Innovation Laboratories to bring a stronger focus to the specific industries we serve.

The Surface Formulations Laboratory supports formulation development and technical assistance for the Personal Care, Household, Industrial, and Institutional Cleaning, Polyurethanes, Coatings, Adhesives, Elastomers, Sealants, Agriculture, Lubricants, and Metalworking industries. A second laboratory will target formulations for ingestible solutions to support the Life Science industries.

Acme-Hardesty chemists, in both laboratories, will bring value to customers and principals by focusing on applications specific to creating prototypes, conceptual formulations, and innovations for new and existing ingredients.

In addition, technical service roles in the lab will be geared toward helping customers resolve quality or process-related issues. Customers and principal partners alike, can rely upon the Acme-Hardesty technical team as an extension of themselves.

The expansion of the Research & Innovation Laboratories serves to illustrate Acme-Hardesty’s commitment to our cultural belief of Superior Service and proactively exceeding the expectations of our stakeholders. Speaking whimsically, Shah stated:
