Atrion’s Involvement at ChemCon Asia 2005 Was a Great Success

Montreal, Canada – June 15, 2005 – Atrion International, the global leader in materials compliance solutions, just completed the most important trade show that they participate in every year. Atrion’s involvement in ChemCon 2005 in Kuala Lumpur was successful beyond expectations. A group of Atrion team members attended the conference in order to present their offerings to new clients as well as to educate themselves about changing global regulations. The audience left with a clear understanding that Atrion is a leader in the Regulatory Compliance world and competitors left worried about Atrion’s drive for success.

“Atrion’s customers who attended ChemCon were proud to be associated with us,” said Patrick J. Lavoie, President and CEO of Atrion International. “If there were an award for the Most Original Vendor, consisting of both enthusiasm and presentation, Atrion would have won hands down.”

ChemCon (http://www.chemcon.net) was held in Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia between June 1st and the 3rd with over 200 experts representing more than 125 companies from over 30 countries. Since legal compliance of chemical substances and products in a worldwide market is a challenge, ChemCon is designed to serve the chemical sector dealing with aspects of international chemical control around the globe. This year, special focus was on Asia- Pacific countries covering current and emerging legislation on reporting and testing of new chemicals, chemical inventories, evaluation of existing chemicals, classification and labeling, risk management, hazard communication and product registration. If you have not yet had the opportunity of attending a ChemCon conference, we highly recommend that you not miss next year’s event which will take place in Budapest, Hungary from May 9th to the 12th, 2006. You will certainly benefit from industry experts on hand.

Atrion has been a sponsor at ChemCon for the last four years. This year, Atrion presented on the “Challenges of Hazard Communication” and attracted a full house of interested participants. The chemical industry experiences a lot of challenges and Atrion wants to know first hand how to help its clients in gaining valuable knowledge to support them in their goals to becoming more compliant.
