Accelrys Adds to Software Offerings

As Accelrys seeks to grow its sales to industrial end-users, ChemSW provides it with greater access to this user base. ChemSW software also fits with Accelrys’s emphasis on the lab-to-production value chain.

San Diego, CA 9/3/13—Lab informatics firm Accelrys has acquired ChemSW, a provider of compliance solutions for environmental health and safety, including automated chemical inventory management, for $15.3 million in cash.
