PSI Shares Expertise at MSU Safe Shipments Seminar
Caledonia, Mich. – September 10, 2003 – Karlis Mateus,
vice president for Performance Systematix Inc. (PSI), recently participated
in a seminar entitled “Package Design and Testing for Safe
Shipments,” sponsored by the School of Packaging at Michigan
State University.
Mateus, was one of seven industry experts chosen by the MSU School
of Packaging to share their real-world knowledge of the critical
issues affecting the packaging and distribution of active or volatile
products.
During his presentation, Mateus explained how PSI’s patented
vented liner systems eliminate the swelling or collapsing of containers
by allowing them to “breathe” without leaking. These
innovative liner systems prevent hazardous spills and container
failure, providing a reliable and cost-effective solution for many
applications.
“We have a history of solving difficult venting and filtering
problems,” said Mateus. “Many of our customers come
to us because no one else wants to take on issues that are considered
too difficult or cost-prohibitive to solve. We work with our customers
to provide a viable and affordable way to vent their products.”
Professionals from the hazardous materials, chemical, pharmaceutical
and clinical industries attended the educational forum. In addition
to Mateus, they heard presentations from the Federal Aviation Authority,
Hazardous Materials Safety Assistance Team, the International Safe
Transit Association, Federal Express, Lansmont Corporation, Syngenta
Co., and United Parcel Service.
PSI specializes in standard and custom solutions for container
venting, medical filters, and laboratory analysis products. Their
technical and manufacturing expertise for integrating microporous
materials into components is unmatched, and their customers represent
a wide variety of industries around the world. Privately owned,
PSI is currently headquartered in Caledonia, Mich. They will move
into a new facility located at 5569 33rd Street SE, Grand Rapids,
Mich. in December 2003.
