Some of the most significant examples are steam sterilizers with washing and sterilization cycle for elastomeric closures, processes for sterilizing high-pathogen materials, sterilizers with rotating loads and plants using liquid or supercritical CO2 for special applications. These designs are the best expression of customer-supplier cooperation and are founded on mutual recognition of each other's skills.

The results achieved have allowed both the customer and the supplier to evolve the technology of their products and grow with it over time, being imitated by those who lack the courage to explore new options and instead merely offer whatever is asked of them.
