" That ’s how we bugger off into tissue culture as a company - and we soon found out that , as an automation company , you do n’t have much business concern there unless you really understand the plant . We then built our own R&D team internally , and we want to distinguish ourselves with flora knowledge , not only in tissue paper culture , but also tank farming and vertical husbandry . "
