TEKMAR's  Georgia Facility to Expand.

Conyers GA. Tekmar's new production and blending facility is now opening and operating at full capacity

 "With Rexco's increased output, along with Tekmar's continued growth, we simply out grew our space" stated Randy Tedder, East Coast operations manager for Tekmar.

Fortunately the facility is located on 6 acres, allowing plenty of room for the addition of the new 10,000 ft building.  Randy is also a professional disc golfer and is pleased that new building, has not infringed on his practice area out back.  The new facility will provides some  much needed relief, to  the work load at the Santa Barbara California facility

In 2007 we will be attending a number of trade shows and open houses in the US, Europe and Asia.  Kicking off the year with the ISS show in sunny downtown Long Beach.  In June we will be In Berlin Germany for FESPA and then in October visiting Orlando for the SGIA show

Brody Guarding a pallet of TS-3 Spot Cleaning Fluid

 Brody is now almost 3 Years old.  He has just recovered from a broken front leg. He was chasing a squirrel who cleverly tricked him into colliding with a railroad tie.  This resulted in a rather bad break to his foot which involved 6 weeks in a cast and a further 3 weeks in a splint. Now three plus months later he is planning his revenge.  I have seen him collecting bungee cords and small rocks.. not sure what he has in mind.  His Birhtday is August 14th so send cards care of Simon Clifford or e-mail him at  brody@tekmarltd.com

TEKMAR Pulls new Non-Methylene Chloride Spot Remover from the market

Tekmar has halted the distribution and manufacturing of its new Spot Remover MC-3.  This is due to the health and safety concerns with regarding Normal Propyl Bromide, the primary ingredient in MC-3 along with other non-Methylene Chloride cleaners marketed by nationally known companies

There is considerable new information becoming available, indicating that Normal Propyl Bromide or NPB, a currently unregulated product, may in fact pose a significant health risk, the same or greater than that of Methylene Chloride.   It is also under the same level of scrutiny with regards to it's environmental impact.  Green Peace has issued many statements about this product and is petitioning for it's world wide control and possible ban.  The United Auto Workers Union (UAW) has released a bulletin,  advising it's member to use the same cautions for NPB, as they would for Methylene chloride.   It is likely that in the next few Months OSHA will initiate it's own evaluation of this product.

Our Position at Tekmar is very simple.  If we feel that a product posses a  risk to the user, regardless whether or not it is regulated, we cannot with a good conscience market this product.  If  substantiated information becomes available that shows NPB to be safe and usable, we will re-introduce our MC-3 as appropriate.  We will also continue to work on other new products to enhance the safety in the workplace.

Until then, we will continue to educate and promote the safe use of our current MEC based product and have available the EXHAUSTEX 2000, the first and only cleaning station with an integrated charcoal filtration unit
