Steward Environmental Solutions works with Coptix to Unveil a New Way to Clean the Environment: SAMMS Adsorbents by Steward
Steward Environmental Solutions, a global leader in recovering post-industrial spaces, continues to pioneer solutions for the removal of heavy metals with the launch of its newest technology: SAMMSŪ Adsorbents by Steward.
SAMMS, which stands for "self-assembled monolayers on mesoporous supports," are advanced magnetic and non-magnetic powders that have been molecularly engineered to clean 99 percent of targeted heavy metals from waste streams in minutes. The Chattanooga-based innovators have partnered with another pacesetting Chattanooga company, Coptix Inc., to market and create an identity for the SAMMS product.
"Our goal is to develop the highest performing, lowest cost adsorbent solutions for the removal of heavy metals," says Steward president Chuck Mills. "We recognize that the environmental cleanup industry is dynamic and expanding, so it was important that we partner with a firm that understands both the development and the execution of an environmentally conscious brand. Coptix was the natural choice."
To create awareness of the benefits SAMMS offers to companies trying to reduce pollutants, Coptix created http://sammsadsorbents.com, a one-stop online resource where potential SAMMS Adsorbents partners can learn about how the powders work, watch a video of the technology in action, and get quick answers about the way that molecular engineering can aid their clean-up efforts.
"We jumped at the opportunity to work with a company as dedicated to helping communities & businesses as Steward," says Coptix president Josiah Roe. "SAMMS Adsorbents has the winning combination of being right for the environment & good for business. "
Coptix, Inc is a leading integrated design firm in the Southeast, bringing clients holistic business development through branding, graphic design, internet marketing, e-commerce and software development.
Steward Environmental Solutions, LLC is a company dedicated to developing and commercializing SAMMSŪ adsorbent solutions to solve the complex environmental and chemical challenges facing businesses today.

Zumfoot and Coptix Create a New Way to Shop for Shoes Online
Zumfoot, a shoe and store brand owned by Chattanooga area residents Hamilton Brock and Michael Mooney, announces the launch of its new online retail site, zumfoot.com. Designed and developed by integrated design firm Coptix, Inc., zumfoot.com offers a better online shoe buying experience, using customer-friendly technology to make shopping uncomplicated and enjoyable.
"When we set out to revamp our retail website, we knew that we wanted to expand our great product offerings," said Brock. "At the same time, we wanted zumfoot.com to have that 'corner family shoe store' feel that is missing from so many online shopping experiences. There are millions of shoe sites online for customers to choose from; we wanted our to stand out by providing the same high levels of customer service that our brick and mortar stores are known for providing."
Coptix designed a site that is appropriately called "Your feet's happy place." Building upon the Zumfoot brand, Coptix's intuitive approach to easy navigation demonstrates their understanding of how people shop online, in addition to streamlining and simplifying shopping cart functionality. The end result is tailored to the customer experience in every aspect, from quick loading to categorizing shoes by brand or style to allow for easy browsing.
"A happy customer is a good customer, and more likely to bring repeat business," said Coptix President Josiah Roe. "Zumfoot's commitments and brand values demanded that their site put customers first. Not only are they filling a niche for lifestyle shoes in our city - with our strong number of active, outdoorsy citizens - they are also putting Chattanooga on the web as a town that offers creative products and friendly service."
Zumfoot provides sunny, stylish, healthy shoes from its headquarters in Chattanooga. Visit zumfoot.com, a perfect fit for your lifestyle and comfort shoe needs.
