Being a Good
Global Citizen
Building the Future
 By
Boris Miksic
The world is
getting smaller. This clichè has never been truer. Twenty
years ago, the United States was by far the world's leader in technological
entrepreneurship. Today, entrepreneurship is becoming a global commodity.
Never has the world seen as much International trade and competition
for global markets. This trend will continue to accelerate. It will
become even faster and tougher. For Cortec, this means that we must
continue to improve and expand our efforts at developing technologies,
and putting them to work around the world. Our on-going vision is
to offer products that are effective, reduce waste and energy needs,
and have low impact on the environment. Our corporate health and
prosperity will depend upon this. It also means that we must continue
to find new ways of disseminating our environmentally safe VpCI®
solutions. For most of our new prospects, this will mean new answers
for old corrosion questions.
The emerging
field of industrial ecology focuses on how the ideas and methods
of low environmental impact technologies can be applied in industry,
infrastructure, public operations, and the military. Cortec has
been there from the start. We know that we have moved beyond the
generally perceived conflict between industrial development and
environmental protection. We have designed systematic approaches
that are relevant for all aspects of the industrial ecosystem: manufacturing,
service, repair, maintenance, packaging, government operations and
military functioning. We have worked relentlessly to commercialize
new safe VpCI® process technologies and develop new value-added
VpCI® products. Our innovative capabilities in developing chemical
product technologies range from advanced films and applications
to air powered aerosols to water-electronic chemicals.
Our
global mission is to benefit our distributors through the development
and deployment of economically valuable environmental science and
technology. We pride ourselves on a long history of recognized leadership
with both government agencies and industry. We value and are constantly
building our long term relationships with our distributors by anticipating
their needs and delivering distinctive, high-value, technology-based
solutions. It's these distributor relationships that will make us
better world citizens.
For
instance, evidence of what we have already done can be found on
our web sites. The dramatic increase of our web site traffic in
recent months demonstrates how effectively we have addressed the
relevant product information for the expanding global marketplace.
Our on-line case studies can help prove how Cortec's integrated
application solutions can enhance the end-user's competitive advantage.
We designed our web sites to help you be there first, with the right
solution for the application.
We
are committed to build our future with you. In the next several
months, you will see us developing strategic relationships with
new web partners, such as Vertical Net and Corrosion Source. We
will continue our expansion of our International web sites, which
will provide customers and prospects information in their native
tongue. We will be offering all of our training material electronically
on CD-ROMs. We promise you solutions that are the culmination of
world-class science, innovative technologies and market insight.
Let's build our global future together!
