"To ensure adherence to the constantly changing compliance requirements, we sought a powerful environment, health and safety or EH&S solution with tight ERP integration," remarked Paul Sweeney, director of technology at SiVance.

Atrion's (News - Alert) solutions will allow us to comply with global regulations and support our objectives for expansion into new markets.

According to company sources the suite of products helps process and discrete manufacturers and distributors to manage risks to brand equity and disruption of operations associated with the lack of accurate contextual product compliance information. This assures that product compliance is maintained throughout the global supply chain especially in a constantly-changing regulatory environment.

Joe Cella, vice president marketing and partner programs at Atrion said, "SiVance is a great example of how Mid-Market companies with strategic objectives for international growth no longer need to see compliance as a barrier to entry. Our highly automated solutions will enable SiVance to accelerate their innovation cycles, reduce risk, and allow them to level the compliance playing field with larger organizations."

Environmental responsibility has become a deciding factor and emphasized by catalyst legislations such as REACH, GHS and RoHS. Also customer demand is making environmental responsibility an increasingly important factor in everything from materials procurement to distribution. It has become imperative to maintain compliance across the supply chain otherwise it results in considerable financial and safety risks besides resulting in the inability to import and export, sell globally and meet customer demand.
