PBI/Gordon Adds More Spanish Information to Web Site - Atencion Los Amigos
de Gordon’s: Las Etiquetas de Trimec® Southern y Trimec® Plus en
Espanol
June 1, 2005
Kansas City, Missouri -- PBI/Gordon Corporation, Kansas City, Missouri,
has announced the publication of two new Spanish labels on their corporate web
site: Trimec® Southern Broadleaf Herbicide and Trimec® Plus Selective
Grass and Weed Herbicide. Material Safety Data for the products is also available
on line in Spanish.
"We are responding to the industry's need for Spanish language materials to be
used in training the Hispanic workforce," explains Bill Brocker, Vice President
of Marketing for PBI/Gordon, "and we are offering labeling and Material Safety
Data which will assist these efforts."
In recent years the Hispanic work force has grown rapidly - four times as fast
as non-Hispanic workers, according to Bureau of Labor Statistics. In fact, the
Spanish speaking population in the United States now accounts for over 13% of
the total population and may now be the nation's largest minority population.
"We feel that anything we can do to assure an accurate understanding of the EPA-approved
product labeling and Material Safety Data for the Hispanic work force is an important
aspect to product stewardship in today's workplace," explained Brocker. "We
want to do everything possible to help all users of our products to understand
proper handling and application."
PBI/Gordon now has seven product labels and Material Safety Data Sheets available
on line which can be downloaded and printed for use in training Hispanic employees,
including SpeedZone®, SpeedZone® Southern, Trimec® Classic, Trimec® 992,
Trimec® Southern and Trimec® Plus. They are also plan to translate some
basic information concerning sprayer calibration, measurement conversions and
basic application terminology.
PBI/Gordon will continue to add Spanish versions of their product labels and
MSDS information to the web site, making the most widely used products the priority.
The employee-owned company is very service oriented and considers providing Spanish
language training materials for end-use customers to be an extension of both
product stewardship and customer service.
PBI/Gordon's Spanish labels and MSDS sheets can be accessed on the this
web site at pbigordon.com/professional or
