With competition from almost similar processing plants overseas, Scott says the decision was made to not patent the technologies behind CP Lime’s products but to instead, keep the process secrets under lock and key. Today, the team based in their manufacturing plant and headquarters amounts to 14, administrators, processors and sales staff.
