Given the unique performance, manufacturability, and cost advantages of this additive, Cantel has embarked on a number of internal R&D initiatives to incorporate BIOSAFE into a variety of its other products." Mr. Krakauer continued, "We have invested significant dollars, resources, and time towards this goal and it has been a fantastic cross-divisional effort that demonstrates how we are gaining leverage from the expertise in our different companies."
