R & D CONTRACT DEVELOPMENT & CONSULTING

At ExtrusionCo we often get requests to develop new products for various companies

    - Work is under taken on a paid basis only – typically we hire the plant out at NZ$3,000 + gst per day, plus any cost of materials supplied by Extrusion Co.

    - This includes plant operators (2) and technical expertise on formulation and running the plant, plant preparation and full clean down.

    - We will require full disclosure on formulations etc to assess any allergen risks and suitability of the project. This information is of course covered by a                  standard NDA (non-disclosure agreement) between the parties and confidentiality can be assured.

CONTRACT MANUFACTURE

Following on from a successful R & D project, this may lead to contract manufacturing opportunity, but the economics of these projects will be governed by run sizes, (i.e. needs to min 2-3 ton per manufacturing run), packaging requirements (we are not set up to handle small packs < 10kg) and any difficulties foreseen in running the project and any materials management issues.
