LEAGUE CITY, TX, Sep 02 (MARKET WIRE) --
Senscient elected John S. Filla to Chairman of the Senscient Board of
Directors in a meeting of the company directors on August 6, 2008. Filla
has over 15 years of global experience in the field of instrumentation
and controls, with a focus on Health, Safety and Environmental (HSE)
applications. Filla is also active in the funding, M&A activities and
management of several other early-stage companies where he provides
guidance on a broad spectrum of strategic, financial and operational
matters.
Filla has been involved with Senscient since participating in Senscient's
2006 Series A investment round and joining as an Outside Director. Having
specified and sold fire & gas detection systems in the hydrocarbon
processing and power industries throughout his career, which included
assignments at companies such as Invensys and ABB, his domain expertise
and contacts have proven especially beneficial to the new company.
For Senscient, he has consistently provided solid business advice and
extraordinary support for this technology-driven company, in addition to
bringing a high level of motivational energy. Jean Berthold, Senscient CMO
and VP Sales & Marketing comments that Filla's new position will only
enhance Senscient's future growth, stating, "John continues to be our most
