Zee Company partners with ChemDAQ to monitor gas levels, keep workers safe

CHATTANOOGA, Tenn. – Zee Company, a member of the Vincit Group and a leader in the sanitation business, recently signed a distribution agreement with ChemDAQ to achieve improved worker safety across the United States.

Zee Company, based in Chattanooga, Tenn., specializes in sanitation and water treatment chemicals. ChemDAQ, based in Pittsburgh, Pa., manufactures, sells, and distributes gas monitoring equipment to support worker safety from occupational exposure.

Peracetic Acid (PAA) is utilized as an antimicrobial chemical for protein processing operations that is highly effective in killing microscopic organisms hiding in and on surfaces. The industry implemented PAA and quickly realized the need for vapor monitoring to ensure worker safety. PAA exposure can occur through inhalation or direct contact and exceeding exposure limits can often cause irritation to the eyes, nose, throat and skin and shortness of breath.

Zee Company plans to market and sell ChemDAQ’s innovative products to its clients. “The safety of our employees and customer base has always been one of our largest priorities,” said Claytor Thompson, Executive VP of Food and Beverage for Zee Company. “Partnering with ChemDAQ will allow Zee Company to continue to bring innovative solutions and technology around air monitoring to the many industries we serve.”

ChemDAQ partners with its customers to create safer workplaces, reduce risk, and provide next-level protection from hazardous chemical exposure, backed by ChemDAQ’s innovative PAA sensor technology. The company’s fixed and portable monitoring solutions help organizations across industries better understand their work environment and keep operations running.

“ChemDAQ is proud to team with Zee Company to reach a broader section of organizations seeking to prioritize worker safety,” said Alex Hilliker, Vice President for Business Development at ChemDAQ. “Our mutual customer base is critical to the nation’s food supply, and this collaboration demonstrates our collective commitment to the protection of the workers and processes that fuel this country.”

Zee Company’s clients across the U.S. will use ChemDAQ’s technology to understand real-time PAA vapor levels and make adjustments, as needed, to ensure associates are kept safe and operations running smoothly.
