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.
