Safety And Compliance Info Now Available In ASI's ESP

Distributors searching industry's largest product database can view supplier safety details

TREVOSE, PA – October 25, 2011 – The Advertising Specialty Institute today announced suppliers can now add safety and compliance product certifications to their supplier profiles in ESP, the industry’s largest searchable product database.

“With escalating concern for product safety and compliance in our industry, there couldn’t be a better time to announce that ASI has added a new feature to ESP that makes it easier for suppliers and distributors to do business together and view key info important to all,” said Timothy M. Andrews, president and chief executive officer of ASI. “When suppliers add safety and compliance info to their products on ESP, it delivers one-click confidence to distributors.”

ASI developed this ESP feature after consulting with members of the ASI Safety and Legislative Advisory Board. Here’s how the safety and compliance feature works:

For ASI suppliers
