So Martel, you know, before we dive into today's topic of sterility testing, um, can you please explain a bit about what Nelson Labs does?
Martell WintersGUEST
Sure.
Carter JohnsonGUEST
Yeah, you know, so as the process came and we filled in those areas, you know, we added warehouses in Kansas.
Carter JohnsonGUEST
We added people further east, you know, some distribution way out east, and we just started filling in that middle, and then we— filled in with we we we had purchased a a smaller distributor in Nelson Labs in South Dakota at that one point so I did have a warehouse there in Sioux Falls at one point and then from there they ended up needing a larger warehouse to service a little bit more area so they actually picked up and basically moved that warehouse to Shakopee Minnesota so that filled in a everything but you know when we first started you know when i first started serving in this area you know our only service option was uh ups at that time and uh we would uh we would next day a lot of stuff to people you know um just because you you had to and for need and and to get them serviced you know but as that business grew and and the company grew and things like that then you know, have other options today and, and a lot of different ways to, to get product.
Carter JohnsonGUEST
But, but yeah, you know, you, and you talk, you know, later on, you know, and it's, I don't know the dates I should have all those in my head, but it's probably been 15 years ago or so when micro technologies came on board, you know, and so we have the micro, the technologies for the feed yards and the dairies and that as well.
Carter JohnsonGUEST
And so, So that brought on a whole new aspect for us as well.
