FSC Marketing Communications Announces New Client Partnership with VANITEC

PITTSBURGH, PA -- FSC Marketing Communications is pleased to announce that VANITEC, the Vanadium International Technical Committee, has joined its client roster.

VANITEC, based outside of London in Westerham, Kent, is a global technical and scientific committee that brings together representatives of companies involved in the mining, processing and manufacture of vanadium and vanadium-containing products. VANITEC's member companies are located throughout North America, Europe and Asia, and in South Africa and New Zealand. The object of VANITEC is to promote the use of vanadium-bearing materials and increase the consumption of vanadium. Vanadium is one of the most abundant, easily accessible and widely distributed metals in the earth's crust and is often converted into alloy for adding to steel and titanium.

"Our partnership with FSC is a strategic one," said David Milbourn, CEO of VANITEC. "FSC has experience in our industry and with organizations that have similar objectives as VANITEC. We are looking forward to working with them to grow VANITEC on a global scale."

FSC and VANITEC will be partnering initially to develop a marketing strategy and long-term marketing plan for the growing organization. FSC will conduct market research among VANITEC's target audience, as well as implement a number of tactical marketing projects following the strategy development process.
