Jeff Kitchell, Chief Executive Officer, stated, “We are up year-over-year despite being a challenging year, with the macro environment causing increased expenses and foodborne outbreaks severely disrupting the food industry. Although our growth didn’t meet expectations, our focus remains on reducing costs and converting more opportunities into revenue. We continue to strengthen and expand our technology across our partnerships and to provide our distributor network with technical support and marketing tools for the industries they serve. Our product penetration in the dairy industry has not met expectations due to slow customer adoption and industry consolidation. We are strengthening all our business development models, and adjustments are underway that better serve our customers and partners. We continue to prove that our SDC products are superior to the current chemistries in use.”
