Amherstburg, Ontario, September, 2003 - By beefing up its marking system for the thousands of 50 lb (20 kg) and 100 lb (40 kg) high density polyethylene bags of calcium chloride it produces each year, General Chemical Canada Ltd. has reduced labor costs, freed itself of worry about errors in its packaging process, and vastly improved its quality assurance.

According to Rick Lehoux, Superintendent of Engineering at the facility, thanks to its new Matthews Interntinational ink-jet marking system, purchasers of the chemical don't have to be concerned about getting the right amount and quality of material they buy. These buyers are highway departments, concrete manufacturers and food processing companies all over North America who use the material to melt snow, lay down and de-ice roads and supplement foods and other products.
