Process NMR Associates was founded in 1997 by John Edwards and Paul Giammatteo in Danbury CT. Both were Ph.D. chemists working at the Texaco Fuels and Lubricants Research Center in Beacon, New York. Paul was group leader of process analytical and organic spectroscopy and John Edwards was the NMR spectroscopist for the Texaco corporation. Between them they have over 40 years of experience in NMR, organic spectroscopy, process analytical, and petroleum/petrochemical chemistry.
Initially Process NMR Associates (PNA) concentrated on supporting the Invensys MRA product which had been formed by a JV between Invensys and the Elbit ATI NMR company. From 1997-2003 PNA was the application development and technical marketing consultants to that product. In 2003 PNA made a strategic decision to leave the relationship with Invensys and has concentrated on developing it's analytical NMR service for industry. Currently PNA serves over 100 small and large companies for their liquid and solid-state NMR needs.
