Security of Supply l With 10 manufacturing sites covering the Americas, Europe and Asia, we are able to
supply large global customers in many locations. You won’t have to worry about availability or consistency of product
because most of our products are made in two or more plants, significantly reducing the risk of a supply disruption.
Technical Application Support l Our technical support groups in King of Prussia, Pennsylvania, USA and
Lyon, France, offer outstanding experience and technical know-how to ensure that our customers select the best
products for their needs.
Availability of Technical Information l Technical information, such as bulletins for each peroxide group which
detail specifications, physical properties and safety data, can be found by logging onto our website, www.Luperox.com.
Product Stewardship l To ensure that our customers use our products safely, we will train your employees,
assist you in designing storage facilities that meet all codes, and perform periodic safety audits. We also relieve our
customers of handling and disposal issues by offering a program to recycle empty packaging materials.
The Newest Product Developments l We are continually introducing new products to the market
thanks to our extensive research and development facilities; which in turn improves our customers’ profitability
by reducing production costs and helping them to manufacture more valuable products.
