A Brief History Expansion A La Carte In Good Company On the Inside
Where we call Home

Our labs currently reside in the Roy Blunt Jordan Valley Innovation Center (JVIC) in the heart of Springfield Missouri. It is here that we perform our research and development of new cutting edge technologies using lasers and chemistry in a nano-tech marriage of amazing possibilities.

The complex is the former home of the Missouri Farmers Association (MFA) milling facility that opened its doors in the 1920’s. For the better part of a century, it supplied farmers in the Midwest with quality feed products.

New life was to be breathed into the near century old structure begining on the 29th of November, 2005 when a ground breaking ceremony was held. Renovation ensued, transforming the five building complex, (about 75,000 square feet) into the home of leading-edge research and state-of-the-art technology.

JVICThe Jordan Valley Innovation Center began its new life when it reopened its doors on May 30, 2007.

JVICThe Missouri State University Board of Governors voted in December of 2006, in recognition of his leading efforts to help secure federal funding for the facility, to name the center in honor of U.S. Congressman Roy Blunt.
