Chemir Analytical Services and Apollo Associated Services Partner to Provide Integrated Testing, Root Cause Analysis and Investigation Services


St. Louis, MO and Midland, MI - As the solution providers of choice for many of the world's leading organizations, Chemir Analytical Services and Apollo Associated Services are partnering to provide one-stop shopping for analytical testing, root cause analysis and investigation services.

Because of positive results and feedback from clients when they have combined their complementary services, Chemir and Apollo have made the partnership formal. When companies experience major incidents or recurring problems, they need speedy answers delivered through a variety of well-integrated technical services. They often do not have time or bandwidth to shop around for expertise, or manage multiple solution providers.

Clients of Apollo that face quality and safety issues with products and processes can turn to the forensic, investigative, analytical services of Chemir. As an independent laboratory, Chemir specializes in deformulation (reverse engineering), materials identification and failure analysis. From identifying a contaminant in a food product to determining the reason for premature breakage of a medical device, the scientists at Chemir can provide accurate and reliable results for difficult problems.

If these issues prove to be complex or recurring, Chemir's clients will now benefit from utilizing Apollo Associated Services' problem-solving methodology, pinpointing true causes (interaction of technical, systemic, cultural, mechanical, human, etc.) and identifying effective solutions.

Apollo, which provides root cause analysis training, consulting and software -- along with its affiliate Artemis Investigations -- helps companies to reactively and proactively solve any real or potential event-based problem. This includes consistently improving products, services and overall business performance while protecting the well-being of employees, contractors, surrounding communities and customers.
