Neuland’s fundamental strength in Chemistry is largely attributable to its R&D team. The company was founded by a technocrat whose vision was to build a company that differentiates itself with its R&D strength. In order to play a stronger role in the success of its customers, Neuland recently inaugurated a 40,000 sq feet R&D center in Bonthapally, about 32 Km (20 miles) from the Hyderabad airport. This state-of-the-art facility includes dedicated Synthesis Laboratories, Analytical Laboratories, Kilo Laboratories and a Hydrogenation Laboratory, which are equipped with best-in-class equipments. The advantage that Neuland has over other Contract Research Service providers is that the R&D team has hands on experience in scaling up activities to commercial scale. This ensures that processes developed in the laboratory are done considering future commercial constraints and a partnership to scale up manufacture is readily available. Also, third party Intellectual Property is given utmost respect at Neuland.
