"Using sophisticated test equipment and our expertise in scaling up, we can also help our customers minimise their time to market," says Güdemann. Complementary Services Geared to Deliver ValueFrom project initiation with a feasibility test to industrial project execution, delivery, and operation, LIST offers end-to-end support to its clients. The company's services suite comprises offerings geared towards enhancing installation, commissioning, training, maintenance, and other processes. To help its clients reduce the time to deploy LIST's products, the company assists and supervises the installation of its system, coordinates with sub-suppliers, reviews system interfaces and utilities, and verifies the deployed equipment against the client's specifications. Concurrently, the company tests if their system is mechanically functional and other critical aspects of the KneaderReactor's operations to enable timely and optimised commissioning. LIST also provides training programs to help clients gain an in-depth understanding of every one of their deployments, thereby aiding them in making the most of their investment. Moreover, LIST's Life Cycle Management (LCM) program ensures optimal performance during the process. LCM aims to achieve zero downtime through a combination of preventive maintenance, continuous optimisation, and training services for the client's in-house teams. LCM helps prolong the lifetime of equipment while maximising performance and minimising the risk of untimely failures.All-Round Expertise, Singular FocusAccording to Güdemann, his company's long-running track record of testing a myriad of rubber devolatisation and polymer synthesis processes has enhanced the team's ability to tackle prevalent challenges and develop innovative solutions to overcome them. Further enhancing the flexibility of LIST's offerings is its team of highly competent and passionate professionals from a myriad of industrial backgrounds. Discussing the competencies of its chemical development personnel, Güdemann elaborates, "We ensure that our team of chemical experts are always on top of their game as our offerings often take shape in a chemical lab before scaling up worldwide."As a company, LIST has the flexibility to work with small-scale clients with limited production demands as well as multinational corporations with world-scale manufacturing needs. At the same time, owing to LIST's honest and transparent client engagement approach, the team ensures that clients are informed of other solutions that are more cost-effective than LIST's products to minimise clients' spending.A Worldwide Footprint of Operational ExcellenceLIST's Tech Centers are strategically located worldwide and equipped to support customers with responsive and efficient services. In addition to the U.S., China, India, and South Korea, LIST also has employees in Singapore and Germany, which enables the company to support customers directly on site. Currently, LIST is well-positioned to expand its geographic reach and enter the South American, Russian, and South-East Asian markets. In parallel, the company intends to broaden the application of its KneaderReactors with a focus on the textile industry and oil refinery business.Since its inception in 1966, LIST has been committed to improving the technologies that drive today's industrial processing and helping customers meet surging market demands. More recently, the company has gained the capability to offer a fully integrated solution--from development to production and commissioning of Swiss engineered, designed and manufactured industrial equipment--with its acquisition of Swiss manufacturing company, Heinz Halbich AG. Having manufacturing know-how and capabilities within the group gives LIST's clients added safety and comfort in all aspects, from strategic purchasing to quality control and innovation, all with the highest Swiss Quality standards. Moving ahead, LIST will continue to empower its customers with the most efficient technologies for future chemical processes, and by doing so, create long-term value through better energy efficiency and greater sustainability, which contributes towards a safer environment.
