CHICAGO, Illinois – On July 22, 2011, Provisur Technologies, Inc.

AM2C will now have access to resources that will allow us to continue to innovate while reaching a truly global customer base,” says current AM2C President and owner, Olivier Kerdiles. Kerdiles will continue to be responsible for the AM2C business as well as assuming a leadership position within Provisur’s overall separation business. Cohen further commented, “Our philosophy at Provisur is to emphasize the importance of our brands. Our intent is to capture the market synergies from this acquisition while preserving AM2C’s identity in the marketplace”.
