Technical capabilities in the Americas
Advanced microbiology and formulation expertise
The Americas region benefits from the Consumer Care Innovation Center (CCIC) in New Providence, New Jersey and the Application Development Center in Suzano, Brazil.
Our Microbiology experts, equipped with state-of-the-art laboratory facilities, leverage decades of experience to address complex formulation challenges while balancing antimicrobial efficacy with regulatory requirements, cost considerations, and consumer preferences to provide tailored preservation solutions precisely aligned with your specific objectives.
Delivering optimal preservation solutions tailored to customer requirements
The microbiology capabilities represent a cornerstone of the technical offering. Cutting-edge laboratory facilities conduct profound microbial analyses using both traditional manual methods and rapid detection technologies, allowing for comprehensive contamination assessment.
Our microbiology experts have developed specialized challenge testing methodologies that go beyond standard protocols. The unique approach allows for customized testing using client-specific microorganisms isolated from production environments or product failures, creating preservation strategies tailored to real-world challenges.
The centers offer rigorous testing according to global standards, validating fast-acting antimicrobial properties with documented evidence required for regulatory compliance. Their microbiology experts also provide consultation on formulation adjustments to address preservation failures, offering solutions that maintain product integrity and safety.
Technical support and formulation services
The technical support services provided by our teams extend far beyond laboratory testing. Our experts conduct comprehensive plant audits that evaluate manufacturing processes, identify contamination risks, and recommend targeted improvements to enhance product quality and consistency.
A cornerstone of our support services is specialized training programs on performance methodologies. These customized workshops equip customers with the knowledge to conduct their own quality assessments, interpret results accurately, and implement improvements.
Strategic value for formulators
Through these centers of excellence, the Americas region continues to strengthen the global personal care industry and microbiology expertise, combining technical sophistication with authentic understanding of regional consumer needs. Our comprehensive capabilities support innovation, quality assurance, regulatory compliance, and customer-specific solutions with deep regional market insights.
