AnMar’s senior vice president and sales director, Mr. Alan Pollard added that, “CellMark’s intention to grow and develop AnMar’s business beyond its traditional boundaries is a good sign for all involved...the business models employed by both AnMar and CellMark are quite similar which should make for a smooth transition.”
