Market-driven, scientific development

The R&D effort at Palsgaard is a collaboration between hard market intelligence and pure scientific endeavour.

We have decades of experience in dealing with the polymer industry, and through a close dialogue with our customers and partners, we are often capable of pinpointing the need for a specific solution to problems that have beset the industry for years.

Sometimes we enter into a development programme with our customers to discover solutions for new applications, but more often than not we are simply driven by curiosity. Here, our unique ownership status comes as a fantastic benefit to us.

We have the financial and corporate stability to think in long-term solutions and to develop answers to questions few have yet begun to ask - financial gain here and now is all well and good, but market leadership and a deeper understanding of our products and their applications, in the long run, is far more desirable to us.

Often, our research shows us new possibilities which we explore and develop into viable solutions to problems facing the industry. Such basic research regularly leads us in entirely new directions - and to new products, all based on the inexhaustible wealth of natural ingredients.
