In a time where innovative research and development becomes more and more strategic to companies, it is valuable to have a "research partner". We have the research partner's network, which has the capabilities and facilities to carry out research across diverse areas and customer segments.
123plastics.com also is constantly seeking exceptional researchers as consultants and partners to assist with evaluation of technology and project development. Register areas of expertise with us to become part of our research partner network and be contacted with opportunities. Our ethics and commitment to research based innovation for the convenience of the end customer ensures that we maintain confidentiality across all our projects.
If you want to get the benefits of research without increasing your overheads for manpower and equipment, then our contract research service provides a professional and cost-effective approach.
Depending on the needs of its customers, 123plastics.com offers the flexibility of single product or service based contracts to more long-term agreements ranging from monthly to yearly contracts. Depending on the concrete needs of companies, a wide range of research-related activities, going from short-term advice to long-term research, is undertaken by us through our Research Partners network which include:
· Performing tests (on company compounds, materials, processes and inventions, using university equipment, methodology or know how);
· Feasibility studies
· Short-term consulting
· Long-term consulting
· Prototype building and validation;
· Development projects
· Research projects which can run over different years
· Framework collaborations, in which a strategic alliance is set up between a company and a Research Partners Network to perform a long term research program often coordinated by a joint steering committee.

With respect to the legal and financial side, it goes without saying that the form and complexity of the contracts is determined to a large extent by the type of collaboration that is set up, on the one hand, and by the degree of specificity of the knowledge that is created, on the other.

Science is the backbone of 123plastics.com. Contact us to join our network and create the opportunity to reap even more reward from your research successes.
