ViridisChem is very excited to announce a strategic partnership with BITEK Chems, Inc., a premier distributor in Korea that has been serving pharmaceutical and chemical companies, as well as government and educational institutes for over 30 years. BITEK Chems will market and sell yearly subscriptions to ViridisChem’s “Chemical Analyzer” and will provide localized technical support to its customers.

Since 2015 the Korea Environment Corporation started to operate the system for managing and providing information on screened chemicals. Many companies and institutes are working hard on green chemistry technology development. According to Dr. Bert Seo, Chief Executive Officer of BTEK Chems…

“we got many requests from our customers showing that there is a need for a database of toxicity and “Safety Data Sheets (SDS)” information, so we tried to find out the database to satisfy customers’ needs. Fortunately, we were introduced to ViridisChem during American Chemical Society’s national conference in 2019 and we believe that through this partnership, we will be able to meet the needs of our customers”.

ViridisChem has always been committed to understanding customer’s technical needs and prides itself in building and supporting solutions that address customer’s critical needs. “This partnership made perfect sense,” says Neelam Vaidya, Chief Executive Officer of ViridisChem.

“It offers a unique opportunity for ViridisChem to take advantage of BITEK Chem’s in-depth understanding of its market and reach out to the international audience to address their unique needs”.
