“Utilising the advanced analytical platform at Monash University, Hawkins Watts has developed a quality system that detects subtle variations in the batch to batch variations in some of our naturally sourced ingredients. These variations can result in undesired quality defects in our clients’ end products. This has enabled us to further match our products to our clients’ intended uses, improving our overall service offering.”
