What are you seeing? What are your customers asking for? How are you engaging with them differently, given just the dramatic geopolitics, sustaina- no, supply chain, other things that are going on that are changing your world?

Well, resilience is obviously still top of mind, uh, to our customers.

Everyone wants to make sure their base have the material chains available, and they continue to get the raw materials.

So that is absolutely critical.

But I think more so than ever, local sourcing of supply is, is just as meaningful, right? And so here at Science Co, we've looked at ways to bring our supply chains more local.

Uh, what tech transfers can we have to bring things back into the US without, you know, going through big imports, importations, and really helping to drive not only supply security, but cost savings to our customers as well.

And then from an innovation point of view?

But, um, it's on us to show the versatility and, and guide formulators as to where these ingredients can fit beyond maybe the conventional uses.
