(TSXV: KSI) (“kneat.com“, “Kneat“, or the “Company“) is pleased to announce that a large multi-national pharmaceutical company has deployed the Kneat Gx platform to replace many of its paper-based validation and GxP testing processes within their highly regulated manufacturing facilities world wide.
