Greenwich, CT-based Crompton Corp. announced that its OSI Specialties achieved Class A business excellence certification from consulting and education firm Oliver Wight. OSI Specialties was awarded the certification for operational excellence in planning and control processes.

Gum, executive vice president, Crompton OSI Specialties. “We subjected all of our processes to rigorous assessments. The measurable result is improved error-free delivery, lower inventory levels, enhanced supply chain management and higher productivity.
