SAN FRANCISCO, March 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Allergy Standards Limited (ASL) has been expanding its activities on the West Coast and a visit to San Francisco, Berkeley, and Los Angeles by its CEO Dr. John McKeon and CIO Dave Morrissey this week is providing the opportunity to further deepen its presence and develop its initiatives in healthcare analytics.
The ASL team have attended a number of Irish Government business events hosted by Enterprise Ireland over the St Patrick’s Festival period, including an Enterprise Ireland business breakfast at which the visiting Irish Minister for Health Simon Harris TD was present.
A full-day certification workshop with strategic partners SCS Global Services in Berkeley provided the opportunity to accelerate the partnership under which SCS Global Services is now approved by ASL to offer the asthma & allergy friendly® Certification. While in Berkeley, a visit to one of ASL’s testing partners, Berkeley Analytical, reinforced the strong relationships that ASL maintains with all of its testing partners to ensure that its certification remains robust and trusted by consumers and industry alike.
Stanley Mathuram Vice President, SCS Global Services (SCS) said, “SCS, is a trusted leader in third-party certification. Our mission is to build value for our clients through auditing and standards development that positively impact on lives and the environment. We are delighted to scale our relationship with Allergy Standards in the US and internationally. Meeting the Irish Minister for Heath with the Consul General demonstrates the high regard that ASL are held in.”
Speaking in San Francisco Dr. McKeon said, “This has been a year of digital transformation for ASL with the launch of our client services portal so a visit to Silicon Valley including the Hasso Plattner Institute of Design at Stanford (d.school) and now this event with the Minister for Heath is an excellent fit. Our work brings together some of the most innovative companies in the US under the banner of improving indoor air quality, and this makes us a flagbearer for Irish innovation and scientifically supported Irish-US business collaboration, with a broader health and community benefit.
