Saltigo will showcase itself at the Informex chemical exhibition in San Francisco from Feb. 16-19, 2010. The globally active custom synthesis specialist will demonstrate the comprehensive portfolio of services offered by its Pharma and Agro & Specialty Chemicals business lines for the entire value chain - from laboratory-scale to full-scale production. "Particularly for companies focusing on custom manufacturing in this challenging market environment, our strategy of serving many different branches of industry and optimizing costs has once again been an extremely valuable initiative," says Saltigo's Managing Director Wolfgang Schmitz.

"About a year and a half ago, we launched the 'Saltigo Way Forward' project," explains Schmitz, "and we already recorded positive results in 2009 with respect to project procedures and their economic efficiency." Through customer surveys and with the help of internal and external consultants, it has been possible to consistently optimize project management and production planning and preparation. This approach has provided us with a strong foundation for the systematic optimization of the projects at Saltigo with the clear objective of reducing costs while maintaining the same high level of service. This resulted not least in the company again winning the prestigious "Agro Award 2009" from the Agrow trade journal , thus defending its title as "Best Supplier."
At Informex, Dirk Sandri, head of Marketing & Sales in the Agro & Specialty Chemicals business lines, will speak on February 16 about the company's main areas of business in a showcase entitled, "Service Offerings of Saltigo". His presentation will focus on the company's extensive range of services that offer advantages to customers in the pharmaceutical and agrochemical industries and beyond. Sandri says: "We also want to attract the attention of new customers from the non-life science segments, since here, too, we have experience in the field of custom manufacturing. We have, after all, already successfully completed a number of projects, for example for the production of polymer additives as well as photovoltaic and cosmetic intermediates."
