Formulation Development

FreeThink develops formulations which are owned by the sponsor company, providing flexibility for our clients to bid the manufacturing operation out. FreeThink’s scientific experts work to find the best formulation and process solution for the project and are not constrained by a specific manufacturing approach or technology.
