PRINCETON, New Jersey, July 14 /PRNewswire/ --

- Search Engine Optimized Directory Makes it Easy to Connect with Technology and Service Providers Focused on Specific Chemical Reactions

Informex has launched Informex365.com, a new web portal for manufacturers that require service and support in chemical reactions commonly used in the production of pharmaceuticals, bio-technology products, industrial products and higher-value chemicals. The all-new website offers manufacturers instant access to the companies that can best support projects based on Acetylation reactions, Coupling reactions, Cryogenic reactions and nearly 200 other process chemical reactions. A search engine built into the website allows users to find the companies focused on specific chemical reactions. Accessible without charge or user registration requirements, Informex365.com allows year-round access to the companies that exhibit at the leading chemical industry event in the United States, InformexUSA. Informex launched the new site to extend the reach of exhibitors beyond the confines of the annual event and to provide companies unable to attend the show an opportunity to consider the expertise of suppliers side-by-side.

According to Jennifer Jessup, event director, Informex, Informex365.com is a problem solver for manufacturers that need to seek out and consult with a number of chemical industry experts when questions come up on specific chemical reactions. "When it comes to finding answers on complex process chemical reactions, it makes sense to work with the experts who know those reactions best," she said. "Informex365.com makes it possible for the manufacturing industries of the world to find companies with knowledge in the reactions where help is needed, all in one click. Beyond this, the web portal will include an encyclopedia of the process chemical reactions that custom chemical experts rely on to produce world-class technologies for manufacturers," she added.

Extending the Informex Event to the World

As manufacturing industries move beyond traditional chemical technologies and production processes in pursuit of technology breakthroughs, Informex will provide a common link for companies up and down the supply chain that can help to make those breakthroughs a reality. Accordingly, Informex365 was conceived as an open website, designed to bring together a global network of qualified companies that will work together to optimize technologies and process chemical reactions for the benefit of the manufacturing industries of the world.

According to Jessup, the need for manufactures to pursue technology breakthroughs translates into a need for an Informex that is "on" every day of the year. "Informex365.com will serve as an online extension of the Informex show, providing companies a mechanism to communicate updates in capabilities, technologies and logistics as they happen," she said. "Rounding out the new site is a news feed outlining the latest developments of custom chemical manufacturers and outsourcing companies," she added. The news is sponsored by SP2 magazine, a major European based publication focused on the topics of discovery, development and commercialization of complex new drugs and agrochemical compounds.

Listing on Informex365.com is available to exhibitors and non exhibitors of InformexUSA. For more information, contact Informex in Princeton, New Jersey. Telephone +1-609-759-4746.
