For a start-up company like NoPalm Ingredients, embarking on the engineering of our first of a kind factory, is quite challenging. Having a knowledgeable engineering partner, that understands the challenging environment of a start-up company and able to work with us in a flexible way, is of vital importance. As we continue to develop and improve our fermentation and extraction processes, we still regularly realize process improvements that need to be included in the factory design. TransitionHERO has demonstrated they understand the environment of a start-up company, and that they have the ability to work with us in a flexible and cost-effective way.
