Skydrol Adds 24/7 Technical Service
ST. LOUIS, October 24, 2005 – Solutia Inc. (OTCBB: SOLUQ) has expanded its technical service capabilities for customers of its Skydrol aviation hydraulic fluids business. The company is now offering customers sample analyses of their aviation hydraulic fluids 24-hours-a-day, seven-days-a-week.
"This expanded technical service offering, in addition to our brand new Skydrol manufacturing facility, demonstrates Solutia's ongoing commitment to providing our customers with superior products and the highest degree of customer service and technical support," said Dale Kline, global business director, Specialty Fluids, Solutia Inc.
The Skydrol technical service lab is located at the Solutia plant in Anniston, Ala., which also is home of the new Skydrol manufacturing facility. The state-of-the-art manufacturing facility is expected to be completed and started-up in the first quarter of 2006. The location change will be seamless for customers, as the current manufacturing facility in St. Louis will continue to operate until the Anniston facility is fully operational.
Skydrol is the world's most advanced line of aviation hydraulic fluids, which are approved by all airframe manufacturers specifying fire-resistant hydraulic fluids. It has been part of the commercial aviation industry's commitment to safety and reliability for fire resistance and excellence in performance for over 57 years.
