Conney Safety and Industrial Scientific to Partner

America’s Leading Safety Supplier Partners with the Global Leader in Gas Instrumentation

Monday, March 9, 2009

MADISON, WI — Conney Safety, the nation’s largest specialty distributor of safety supplies, first aid supplies, work gloves, safety glasses and medications, is proud to announce their new partnership with Industrial Scientific Corporation — the global leader in designing, manufacturing, selling and servicing gas monitoring instruments, systems and related products.
Conney Safety’s unique business model of using deep expertise to help customers solve safety-related problems while reducing costs was key to Industrial Scientific’s decision.

“We were impressed with the vision demonstrated by Conney Safety,” says Kevin Miller, vice president of global sales, services and marketing for Industrial Scientific. “That’s not something we’d seen in the past. We were also impressed with the Conney Safety’s business model – a combination of telesales and subject matter expertise, plus the catalog and website. They staff subject-matter experts over the phone who have a focus on safety and instrumentation. When a customer buys a gas monitor, somebody in that purchasing process needs to understand exactly what monitor to buy.”

Headquartered in Pittsburgh, Industrial Scientific provides equipment that is used for safety and industrial hygiene in potentially dangerous locations. Industrial Scientific is known worldwide for producing the most rugged and dependable gas instrumentation on the market.

Through technical breakthroughs and perseverance in product development, Industrial Scientific has released tremendously innovative products, including the Docking Station®, GasBadge™ Plus and GasBadge™ Pro Single Gas Monitors, MX6 iBrid™ and iTX Multi-Gas Monitors and iTrans™ Single or Dual Fixed-Point monitors.

Through this ground-breaking partnership, all these products are now available through Conney Safety (www.conney.com).

“Industrial Scientific is a very important partnership for Conney Safety. From our perspective, Industrial Scientific is the market leader and maintains that position through continuous innovation. The proof is that it is the brand our customers request most often,” said Conney COO Chuck Moyer. “Industrial Scientific fits well with Conney’s technical selling abilities. We help our customers solve safety-related problems. It is important that we represent the top technical brands in each of our product categories. Industrial Scientific adds considerably to our ability to do this.”
