Dan O'Brien, CEO, commented, "The 2025 year was one of transition as our Panama factory was built and our Illinois factory was retooled for our new contracts. Agriculture was difficult all year in all geographies. This obscured the excellent forward progress in food grade products. We anticipate that the opposite will be true in 2026 provided that food grade production reaches the much higher revenue we hope for."
