Diversification sets any business, in any sector, apart and sets it up for success. There’s no denying that extending your products or services can lead to more revenue and new customers. Carten Controls designs, manufactures, and supplies high-performance valves and flow solutions. Employing around 150 people in its Waterford plant, the company was keen to extend its portfolio to include bio-pharma products. With this in mind, it partnered with the South Eastern Applied Materials (SEAM) gateway at South East Technological University (SETU) on several projects. Building on Strong Foundations Carten Controls has a long-standing relationship with the SEAM team. Over the past 15 years, SEAM has been Carten Controls’ first port of call when it needs technical support, from mechanical testing to failure analysis. More recently, it worked with SEAM to develop miniature full bore flow diaphragm valves – valves that allow fluid to flow unobstructed – for the pharmaceutical industry. They also optimized the design of a diaphragm valve, extending the product’s lifespan tenfold. It’s now the most popular item on Carten’s website each month. SEAM also helped the team select materials for new valve lines, including hydrogen control valves. Benefiting from Years of Research and Innovation Experience Over the years, Carten Controls has built a strong relationship with SETU’s Technology Transfer Office. It has worked closely with Dr. James O’Sullivan, Head of Innovation and Commercialisation, on various collaborations. From managing the discussion phase to negotiating the contracts and agreements, he seamlessly led the administration side of their recent project. 🔗 Check out the full post on KTI AKTS to learn more about this exciting collaboration and its impact on the bio-pharma industry! #Innovation #BioPharma #Engineering #Research #Collaboration #SETU #CartenControls

The overuse and misuse of antimicrobial drugs in farm animals can lead to antimicrobial resistance (AMR), making infections harder to treat. Reducing the use of these drugs doesn’t just prevent AMR – it keeps residues out of our ecosystem, where they can damage human health. Through its partnership with Maynooth University (MU), animal nutrition leader Alltech is learning how a mannan-rich fraction (MRF), a derivative of yeast, can minimize AMR and keep animals healthy. Alltech, a US-based multinational, has a history of successful collaboration with the Human Health Institute at MU. For this project, Alltech Ireland partnered with Prof. Fiona Walsh for world-class research on the animal microbiome. MU’s technology transfer office (TTO), MaynoothWorks, was involved from the start, helping to craft the wholly funded research contract and shape long-term collaboration options. Prof. Walsh’s lab found that MRF supports chicken and pig gut health by stabilizing the diversity of bacteria present. The stable microbiome then acts as the animal’s own defense mechanism against pathogens and antimicrobial resistance. These results have helped Alltech’s product development, as well as its efforts to show customers the benefits of maintaining animal health and reducing antimicrobial use. For MU, the collaboration validates the industrial impact of Prof. Walsh’s work – ultimately helping to build its research capacity. 🔗 Check out the full post on KTI AKTS to learn more about this exciting research and its implications for animal health and sustainability! #AnimalHealth #AMR #Innovation #Sustainability #Research #Collaboration #MaynoothUniversity #Alltech
