Both companies were heavily involved with government contracts for military equipment, communications satellites, military aircraft components and related products. Both companies were innovators in plastic and composite applications. Washington has been bringing this expertise to ImmunoScience's diagnostic product platform. After spending approximately 15 years in the plastics technology field, he acquired majority ownership of Carlel Cellular Partners. Carlel was an early participant in the cellular phone business. As the principal of this company, he was responsible for both day-to-day operations and strategic growth. Through his efforts, Carlel was sold in the early 90's for close to $20 million. After the sale, he temporarily retired. In 1995 he was introduced to ImmunoScience and invested in the Company. Since that time, he has worked as a consultant and as an innovative solver of various technical proble The most recent was a problem with a separation of the plastic components of the Salivax test kit wand. He analyzed the problem, determined a likely fix and sourced a company that was able to supply a high-pressure, high-frequency bonding machine that solved the problem.
