Actio, Governor John Lynch and Lynn Tilton Join Forces
PORTSMOUTH, NH December 15, 2011 – Actio Corporation, the leading provider of software for environmental regulatory compliance in supply chain materials management, joined NH Governor John Lynch and Lynn Tilton at the Governor’s Advanced Manufacturing and High Technology Summit, held on December 7, 2011 in Manchester, New Hampshire.
The theme of this year's exclusive meeting was Supply Chain Collaboration, a global challenge to which Actio has a solution. 
Featured speakers at this year's event included Governor John Lynch and the international manufacturing tour-de-force, Lynn Tilton.
Lynn Tilton has aptly been called "an unlikely combination of fashionista and Warren Buffett." Tilton is a self-made billionaire, currently serving as CEO of Patriarch Partners -- a private equity firm and holding company that manages 76 companies worldwide. Governor Lynch is one of the most popular Governors in history -- sustaining high approval ratings for an extraordinary eight straight years against a very tough economic landscape.
Actio Corporation was a sponsor of the summit, along with with BAE Systems, Citizen’s Bank, Society of Manufacturing Engineers (SME) and others. Actio was able to lend expertise on software automation that solves the challenge of supplier collaboration via patented online, on-demand, SaaS software for protected, full and tiered material disclosure.

With just a browser, Actio customers can screen accurate, up-to-date substance data from the supply chain (both upstream and down) against ever-changing legislation, including state and local ordinances, as well as broader restrictions under GHS, REACH, RoHS, California Prop. 65 and IPC standards, for instance.
