METALAST International, Inc., the metal finishing industry's solutions provider, and TrueLogic, Dallas, TX, have reached a formal agreement wherein METALAST has the rights to market a proprietary version of TrueLogic’s TrueChem software. METALAST has introduced ChemPro to its product line, a chemical management software that further automates the finishing process.
ChemPro ensures consistent, repeatable application of best practices and digitizes the process and all activities, as well as providing management with the visibility, insight, and control to improve operational performance.
“The ChemPro software supplements our JobPro perfectly,” said Joe Radzvilowicz, Senior Vice President of Sales and Marketing at METALAST. “The JobPro focuses on the functions and mechanical aspects of the process, and ChemPro focuses specifically on chemistry and consumption.”
Senior Executives from TrueLogic visited the METALAST Tech Center in February to host a formal training class on the software for METALAST Regional Sales Managers and staff. As part of the Alliance Agreement, TrueLogic and METALAT have exchanged high-level contacts with which both companies have existing relationships.
Truelogic is considering giving METALAST exclusive rights to market the software under the METALAST name of ChemPro. Truelogic’s most recent installation is taking place at ALCOA in Southern California as a pilot operation. Other Truelogic customers include, Northrup Grumman, Texas Instruments, Alcoa, Delta Faucet, Naval Air Depot, Teledyne, Bell Helicopter, Saturn Electronics, Kwikset and ARINC (Egyptian AirForce), and a number of job shops throughout the country.
METALAST Regional Sales Managers plan to penetrate existing and potential targeted markets to expand the presence of finishing control throughout the process to achieve consistency within a manufactureres supply chain.
