Jeffrey N. Peterson, Chairman of the PBI Board, set the stage for PBI’s exciting future: “The PCT and BaroFold technologies have provided important early opportunities for commercial traction, as PBI forged scientific understanding and acceptance for its high-pressure platforms. Building on multiple peer-reviewed opinion leader scientific articles and presentations, accelerating instrument installations, and expanding paid research projects, these platforms are expected to generate important sales growth in 2022 and beyond. In addition, we believe the UST platform is opening up a new, game-changing growth trajectory with its promise for revolutionizing massive global markets from pharmaceuticals, nutraceuticals, cosmetics, agrochem, food/beverage processing, and more.”
