Atrion International and Actio sign Strategic Alliance to offer Chemical Management Solution

Montreal, Quebec and Portsmouth, NH–April 17, 2007– Atrion International and Actio Corporation have partnered to offer a Chemical Management Solution (CMS) – a comprehensive, web-delivered solution for pre-screening and managing chemical information and inbound (M) SDS across the supply chain. CMS links all stages of the chemical lifecycle, thereby reducing chemical handling and purchasing costs, while providing mission-critical product information throughout the enterprise.

Highlights of CMS include: project/product lifecycle management where product definition is linked to the acquisition of chemicals and formulation of manufacturing process documents; the capability to link remote locations to streamline and consolidate the chemical approval process; and a flexibility that enables organizations to use CMS modules as standalone solutions or in combination with other CMS modules.

Patrick J. Lavoie, CEO Atrion International, stated “with customized solutions like the CMS, our customers can utilize current resources more fully, plan effectively for future improvements, and strengthen their competitive advantage.”

Russ McCann, President of Actio echoed these sentiments when he said “Actio and Atrion’s partnership leverages each company’s core competencies, and creates a solution that brings a new degree of efficiency to the chemical life cycle. Regulatory and corporate environmental responsibility issues are streamlined with more precise data–available on demand.”
