Meissner’s Advanced Asymmetric Research Center (MAARC)
The Innovation Fast-Track
Meissner’s remote R&D facility, MAARC (Meissner’s Advanced Asymmetric Research Center), is located in San Luis Obispo, California. Isolated from Headquarters, MAARC enables us to focus all of our efforts there on the development of next generation technologies without the potential interruption or distraction of mainline manufacturing responsibilities.
This facility allows us to concentrate on projects and products that have been fast-tracked so that all efforts can be focused on expedited product development and enhancement, and ultimately, the delivery of innovative technologies. New product delivery can be streamlined – from idea through research, design, prototype, manufacture, and testing – all within this research center.
Meissner loves the challenge of developing effective solutions to address the most demanding applications in our industry. Our commitment to engineering drives new and innovative products that are inspired by and developed in targeted support of our clients’ needs. Meissner not only takes the time necessary to understand our clients’ processes but also the way in which our products will be deployed in their manufacturing facility. By developing this critical understanding, we are able to suggest ways in which to deploy our filtration and single-use solutions so that the process is repeatable, scalable, and will be 100% successfully implemented by our clients.
The Research Center’s close proximity to excellent engineering schools allows us to recruit top talent for our center and manufacturing facilities.
“This integrated approach significantly reduces the time from concept to market-ready product. By eliminating the need for constant back-and-forth between different departments or external facilities, we can maintain the momentum of innovation without distraction or interruption.”
Location
MAARC is strategically located in San Luis Obispo, California. This location was chosen for several key reasons:
- Talent Pool: San Luis Obispo is home to California Polytechnic State University (Cal Poly), known for its excellent engineering programs. The proximity to this and other nearby institutions of higher learning provides us with a steady stream of top-tier talent for both our Research Center and manufacturing facilities.
- Quality of Life: The beautiful Central Coast of California offers an exceptional quality of life, which helps us attract and retain high-caliber professionals.
- Innovation Ecosystem: San Luis Obispo has a growing technology and innovation scene, providing opportunities for collaboration and knowledge exchange.
- Strategic Location: Situated halfway between San Francisco and Los Angeles, MAARC benefits from easy access to major markets and transportation hubs while maintaining a degree of separation that supports our focused research environment.
- Room for Growth: The area provides ample space for potential future expansion of our facilities as our research and manufacturing needs evolve.
By leveraging the unique advantages of this location, we’re able to create an environment that not only drives innovation but also ensures we have access to the talent necessary to bring our advanced products to life.
