Perhaps the most basic of all fundamental principles on which Farmeco Co. is firmly grounded, and a strategic source of its competitive advantage is its relationship with Research and Development. Both applied and basic research and product development efforts have been carried out by an in-house R&D section, responsible also for all clinical trials and studies undertaken, as well as quality control of all productions. Strong links are maintained with academic institutions and research centers across Europe and the United States, while membership to Scientific Societies and Professional Boards assure that Farmeco Co. has an active role during all technological and regulatory changes prevalent in the cosmetic, pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries.
