Helping innovators incubate

Development Services

Interfacial’s Development Services Division develops proprietary products and helps innovators incubate and launch advanced materials and manufacturing process technologies. We provide a proven idea-to-production model—supporting concept development, prototyping, validation, and scale-up for both customers and internal technology platforms.

Based in Prescott, Wisconsin, our team operates from the 40,000 sq. ft. Cervenka Center with state-of-the-art process and wet lab capabilities and experienced chemists, engineers, operators, technicians, and business development experts to execute programs from concept through launch.

  • Idea-to-production incubation (concept → prototype → validate → launch)
  • In-house labs for melt processing, prototyping, and characterization
  • Scale-up support, technical services, and technology transfer

What is the Development Services division?

Interfacial’s Development Services Division takes advanced materials and manufacturing-process technologies from idea to production — concept, prototyping, validation, and scale-up — from a 40,000 sq ft facility in Prescott, Wisconsin, for both external customers and Interfacial’s own internal platforms. The division developed the company’s commercial liquid-dispersion masterbatch technology and pioneered methods on the continuous-double-belt-press substrate platform.

How We Work

Our Process

A four-phase incubator model that takes advanced materials and manufacturing programs from concept to launch with speed, flexibility, and clear deliverables.

What We Deliver

Services

Interfacial’s Development Services Division provides turnkey incubation support from early concept through development, validation, and launch. We de-risk each program at every stage of the Interfacial Incubation Process, helping customers deploy capital efficiently and maximize return on investment (ROI).

What We Can Do In-House

Capabilities

Interfacial’s Development Services Division is located in the Cervenka Center, a world-class incubation facility in Prescott, Wisconsin. Its labs are outfitted with state of the art melt processing, prototyping and characterization equipment.

Frequently Asked Questions

What is Development Services used for?2026-06-27T20:16:40-05:00

It is used by companies that have a material or process challenge but lack the in-house science or pilot-to-scale manufacturing to commercialize it — from custom polymer compounds and novel masterbatches to entirely new advanced-material platforms. It suits startups and established manufacturers who need a partner that can both formulate and manufacture, turning a prototype into a real, manufacturable product at scale.

How does Interfacial’s idea-to-production model work?2026-06-27T20:16:23-05:00

Development Services follows a staged model that de-risks new materials before commercial investment: concept development to define requirements, prototyping to produce early material, validation to confirm performance against the target application, and scale-up to commercial production. The same materials-science team and pilot-to-production assets carry a project through each stage, so a formulation proven at lab scale moves onto commercial equipment without re-qualifying a new partner. The model supports both external clients bringing a challenge “at any stage” and Interfacial’s own internal platforms.
