Why is ANGUS changing its name and rebranding as Advancion (pronounced: “Advan-see-on”)?
A lot has changed in the world and with our Company in the 40-plus years since we first began operating as ANGUS (which is actually an acronym for Alberta Natural Gas United States). In that time, we have made significant investments in new product and application development, capacity expansions, and our recent acquisition of Expression Systems, LLC, that have reshaped our Company into a leading global producer of specialty ingredients for Life Sciences, Personal Care and other essential markets.
While our Company has evolved over the decades, what has not changed is our approach to challenges or our corporate commitment to design and develop consumables and ingredients that enrich lives and enable our customers to advance the world.
Our new name, Advancion, emphasizes the core of who we are, and it captures the essential nature of the ingredients and expertise we provide. The name also reflects the extraordinary outcomes our products and our people help deliver in the form of life-saving medical treatments, clean water, reliable food sources and other innovative products that improve our health, homes and environment.
When will the transition to the new Advancion name take place?
We are targeting to complete the new name / brand transition at the end of August 2023.
