companies. Safety-Kleen is the nation's premier provider of

both our product and geographic strengths, Safety-Kleen and Quaker
have created an unparalleled North American service infrastructure
for the metalworking industry," said Safety-Kleen CEO and
President, Frederick J. Florjancic. "Together, we can now
economically bring to our existing customers, as well as those that
have not traditionally been served by one of us individually, the
best product and service offerings of both Safety-Kleen and Quaker
Chemical." Under the unique "Metalworking Fluid Management" program
designed by Safety-Kleen and Quaker, the customer's manufacturing
costs will be reduced by: -- Supplying premium Quaker coolants and
maintaining them at optimum concentration levels to ensure top
performance across the full range of metalworking operations;
turn-key services also include portable coolant filtration, coolant
sump cleaning, coolant replenishment and spent coolant disposal. --
Increasing manufacturing line efficiency by reducing downtime to
re-work parts, recalibrate machines or clean CNC/machine tool
sumps, while improving both the quality and finish of parts. --
Providing customized CNC/machine tool maintenance based on actual
customer manufacturing processes and schedules, including service
on nights and weekends. -- Analyzing customer-specific metalworking
requirements and concerns, such as metal types, cutting processes
and temperatures, water hardness, etc., in order to design complete
solutions tailored to individual customer needs. Safety-Kleen's
North American network of more than 160 facilities and service
centers will now be augmented by Quaker's extensive network of
"value added resellers," allowing the two companies to deliver
unmatched service to all metalworking facilities, regardless of
size. "This combination of superior products and services, backed
up by a very strong network of experienced, local personnel and
facilities, means all of our customers now have the best products
