Consistent Growth Leads to Expansion of Atrion’s Global Organization and Delivery Capacity

MONTREAL - Atrion International announces that it has augmented its product
development, regulatory services and marketing staff by 20% during the first
quarter of FY-09. This is as a result of a consistent double-digit growth
rate of its enterprise and mid-market customer base. Atrion is accommodating
a majority of this staff growth in its recently expanded Worldwide
Headquarters with the addition of a second location at 4929 Place Olivia,
Ville Saint-Laurent, Quebec. The expansion will enable Atrion to support the
increasing global demand for its Product Compliance Solutions. The new
facilities will now house a portion of the Company’s North American Marketing
& Sales departments as well as the Global Finance department.

Atrion also continues to make significant investments in product
development, new technologies and infrastructures to accommodate the increase
in sales of its on-premise and SaaS solutions, as well as the increase in
managed services and Business Process Outsourcing (BPO) contracts.

“We’re seeing an influx of forward-thinking companies that have, despite
tough economic times, elected to invest in a Product Compliance Solution,”
said Patrick Lavoie, President of Atrion International. “These companies want
to stay on top of REACH and GHS regulatory demands to ensure that they are
best positioned for expansion when economic conditions turn around. That
they’ve repeatedly chosen to work with Atrion is a testimony to our respected
track record and renowned industry expertise, as well as our long-standing
position at the forefront of current and emerging regulatory compliance
legislations.”
