Pasadena, CA—ChemIndustry.com, (www.chemindustry.com) the largest provider of Web-based specialized search services for the $3 trillion worldwide chemical and closely related industries has built an international user base, according to an independent audit conducted by Survey.com. Survey.com research indicates that 52% of ChemIndustry.com's traffic is generated outside the United States.
"These numbers are very gratifying," said Calvin Carr, executive vice president, sales and marketing for ChemIndustry.com. "The chemical and closely related industries are global in nature. We have worked hard to build a worldwide user base and our investment in that area is paying off." In addition to an English-language site (www.chemindustry.com), ChemIndustry.com has Chinese (china.chemindustry.com), French (fr.chemindustry.com) and German (de.chemindustry.com) language services.
