During SofMat’s recent visit to the US SofMat staff, Dr Philip Harrison & Mrs Susan Rainton, and SofMat’s US colleagues, Sterling Johnson & Michael Martino, met with Joseph Pimentel of Congressman Darrell Issa’s office.

The very productive meeting covered SofMat’s unique patent protected technology platform that enables SofMat to directly mark Pharmaceutical products & specifically how this can be used to help with traceability of opioids.  The opioid crisis was declared a Public Health Emergency by President Trump in October 2017; links to some recent news items are shown below.
