Wide range of laboratory…. KCL provides an infrastructure where customers can test their development ideas both in laboratory and in pilot scale. We are even able to tailor our processes with customers' own equipment. Our in-depth knowledge and expertise are included in the services we provide our customers. Our efficient staff has experience from different types of pilot or laboratory trials.

In pilot scale we can build process prototypes for new product development, or we can produce product prototypes that can be further refined in the following process steps in pilot or even in industrial scale. We are also able to provide small-scale production in order to support the market entry of a new product.

We serve all customers with the highest degree of integrity and confidentiality.
