Like I’ve said in previous post, a combination of recently renewed global patents, complexity in the know how, supply inputs etc have shown that our product performance and manufacturing processes have yet to be challenged in over 20 years. Major competitors have invested hundreds of millions into their specific equipment and supply chains that are substantially different and produce a different product - it isn’t easy to just try to change. Likewise for a new entrant to the market requires substantial R&D time (decades) to produce zinc oxide with the caliber of performance necessary for cosmetics purposes - that is, UV absorbance and transparency on skin.

We are not just grinding zinc in a coffee machine - this is complex particle size controlled science at a nano & micro scale. ANO’s MCP patented processes goes far beyond the wastage comment I made - IMO if anyone wants to do similar, they’d have to buy us out.
