IMI Global Named to Livestock Market Digest Top 25 List for Companies and Individuals Making a Difference in the American Livestock Industry
CASTLE ROCK, CO--(Marketwire - October 8, 2008) - Integrated Management Information, Inc.
(IMI Global) (OTCBB : INMG ), a leading provider of verification and Internet
solutions in the agricultural/livestock industry, including the Born and
Raised in the USA® labeling program for COOL compliance, today announced
it was named to the Livestock Market Digest's "Digest 25" list of
businesses and individuals making a difference in the American livestock
industry.
Livestock Market Digest is a leading publication that covers all facets of
the domestic livestock industry. The annual "Digest 25" list, published
each September, includes prominent individuals and innovative organizations
that make a substantial contribution to improving the state of the American
livestock industry. This year's list also includes former Speaker of the
House Newt Gingrich and current Iowa Senator Chuck Grassley.
In addition to its inclusion in the Top 25 list, IMI Global was the subject
of a feature story in the magazine in which the Company was praised for its
foresight in developing meat export compliance programs and for getting out
in front of the country of origin labeling (COOL) legislation requiring
meat retailers to display the country of origin on their labeling. The
magazine said, "IMI knows COOL. They have been providing food verification
systems since 1995 to producers all the way through to retailers and have
developed over 60% of all USDA PVP and QSA programs in the United States."
