As leaders in turning technical innovations into cost effective solutions, we believe the Adventus product portfolio has virtually unlimited potential across our client base."
Mr. Michael Mueller, Vice President Business Development at Adventus, said "It is widely accepted across the environmental remediation industry that China is continuing to make genuine efforts to address its contaminated site challenges. As our firm continues to expand around the world, the first challenge for promising new markets is to foster a mutually beneficial commercial relationship with a strong local partner.
