The Perfect Pellet

This new webinar looks at pellet quality from the customer’s perspective (rather than from the compounder’s perspective). We ask the questions: Who is your customer? What do they need to be profitable? What are their expectations?

Process Technology

Troubleshooting pellet quality issues and understanding your customer requirements are the focus of this enlightening webinar.
