Look beyond price per kilogram

Compare identity, specifications, available documentation, supply continuity and minimum order assumptions. A lower quote is only useful when the material fits the intended product.

Translate novelty into a development plan

For an unfamiliar ingredient or material, identify what is known, what needs to be evaluated and which questions could prevent commercialization. Novelty alone does not establish suitability or performance.

Connect supplier and manufacturer requirements

Prepare a sourcing brief that identifies the required material attributes and the questions a prospective CDMO must resolve. Final qualification depends on the ingredient, finished product and intended market.

Does PCG manufacture the finished product?

PCG provides development, sourcing and manufacturing-partner coordination. Manufacturing is performed by the selected CDMO under agreed commercial terms.

How we work together

For clients under $50 million in annual revenue, new product development and portfolio management are fee-based. For clients over $50 million, these engagements can be fee-free to the client, with PCG compensated by the CDMO under agreed terms. Contract research is always separately scoped at market rates. Companies at exactly $50 million should contact PCG to confirm their engagement.
