Mark43 Co-Founder and President Matt Polega Appointed Managing Director UK to Lead Regional Expansion
'As one of our co-founders, Matt has made an impact across every team at Mark43,' said Bob Hughes, CEO of Mark43. 'His leadership in delivering for our first UK customer, Cumbria Constabulary, has laid the foundation for long-term success and strong product-market fit in the region. His move comes at a pivotal moment in Mark43's growth, reinforcing our commitment to UK policing and our growing partner ecosystem. The demand for modern technology in policing is clear, and we're uniquely positioned to meet it as a trusted partner. We're thrilled to have Matt leading this essential work.'
'Thirteen years ago, we founded Mark43 to fundamentally transform public safety operations through modern technology,' said Matt Polega, Co-Founder, President, and Managing Director UK. 'Expanding that mission to the UK is a personal and professional milestone. I'm committed to supporting UK forces in meeting today's and tomorrow's policing challenges with the same innovation, partnership, and operational excellence that have defined Mark43 since day one.'
'Matt's appointment underscores Mark43's commitment to supporting UK police forces,' said Sir George Hamilton, former Chief Constable of the Police Service of Northern Ireland and Strategic Policing Advisor to Mark43. 'As a co-founder, Matt has been with Mark43 since day one, helping shape its mission and growth from the ground up. The company has already demonstrated its value through a successful deployment with Cumbria Constabulary, and under Matt's leadership, it is well-placed to continue delivering meaningful results as forces modernize to meet the evolving challenges of UK community safety.'
This announcement follows a successful DDaT Forum hosted by Mark43 in London, which brought together over one-third of the country's police forces, alongside government representatives and senior policing leaders. It also follows the rapid expansion of Mark43's UK-based team, welcoming the brightest minds in engineering, customer success and implementation to innovate and accelerate delivery for UK policing.
'Over a decade ago, we launched our first Mark43 customer, the Metropolitan Police Department in Washington, D.C. It's been incredibly rewarding to see the impact of our technology benefitting police forces across the U.S. I'm thrilled to bring that experience to the UK,' said Polega. 'I look forward to continue partnering with UK forces to meet their evolving needs, strengthen collaboration and drive impact through our cloud-native technology.'
Polega will continue to serve as Co-Founder, President, and Head of Marketing, Communications, and Enablement at Mark43. As Managing Director UK, Polega will be responsible for Mark43's operational excellence, strategic growth, partnerships and customer delivery throughout the region, reinforcing Mark43's role as the leading technology partner for police forces across the UK.

SEKISUI CHEMICAL Achieves Progress in Creating PFAS-Free Pipes for Ultrapure Process Applications in the Manufacturing of Advanced Semiconductors
TOKYO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--SEKISUI CHEMICAL CO., LTD. (TOKYO: 4204) (President: Keita Kato; hereinafter 'SEKISUI CHEMICAL') announced that, in response to the global trend of tighter regulations regarding perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances (PFAS) and growing demand for reducing environmental impact, the Urban Infrastructure & Environmental Products Company (President: Yoshiyuki Hirai) had been developing a new technology for PFAS-free pipe materials for ultrapure process applications in the manufacturing of advanced semiconductors. As a certain level of progress has been established in the development of this technology, SEKISUI CHEMICAL will start to formally propose it to customers. 1. Background In the semiconductor and flat panel display (FPD) industries *, the ultrapure water being used needs to be supplied without lowering its water quality. The types of pipe materials for this purpose include those that use resin materials—hard polyvinyl chloride (PVC), polypropylene (PP), and fluorocarbon resins (polyvinylidene fluoride or PVDF, polytetrafluoroethylene or PTFE, and perfluoroalkoxy or PFA)—as well as those that use metallic materials in the form of metal pipes with special surface treatment. Today's advanced semiconductor industry, with the progress of ultra-miniaturization, requires pipe materials that can suppress the elution of inorganic and organic matter as far as possible. * The flat panel display (FPD) industry refers collectively to all industries related to the manufacture of flat panel displays, including liquid crystal displays, organic EL displays, and LED displays. 2. PFAS and Its Regulation PFAS refers to perfluoroalkyl and polyfluoroalkyl substances, which are difficult to break down in nature and may affect the human body or ecosystems. Among PFAS, the manufacture, import, and such of perfluorooctanoic acid (PFOA) and perfluorooctanesulfonate (PFOS) are already prohibited. As of now, PVDF, PTFE, and other materials used in fluorocarbon resin pipes and fittings for ultrapure process applications are not within the scope of regulation in Japan. However, in Europe and the United States, studies are being conducted to comprehensively subject PFAS to regulation. Together with other initiatives, there is a global trend of tighter regulations regarding PFAS. 3. Chronology of Development As a pioneer of plastic piping materials, SEKISUI CHEMICAL launched 'Eslon Clean Pipe'—a hard PVC pipe material for transporting ultrapure water—in 1984. Since then, supported by an impressive track record, the product has been used in a wide range of applications. This time, a special olefin resin pipe material has been developed as a new low-elution material replacing fluorocarbon resins from the perspective of PFAS. In November 2022, a demonstration using an actual ultrapure water manufacturing system was started jointly with Kurita Water Industries Ltd. Compared to existing fluorocarbon resin pipe materials, this special olefin resin pipe material can reduce CO 2 emissions during manufacturing by approximately 80%. Furthermore, in response to the global trend of PFAS regulation, SEKISUI CHEMICAL started working on developing PFAS-free pipes and fittings for ultrapure process applications. 4. Future Prospects With the establishment of this PFAS-free technology, SEKISUI CHEMICAL will start to formally propose it to customers and will aim for market launch within fiscal 2026. The company will also undertake development toward the early realization of creating valves, gaskets, and other pipe materials that are totally free from PFAS in the area of ultrapure process applications. SEKISUI CHEMICAL is accelerating the creation and market expansion of products—such as clean pipes—with high contribution to solving issues in the natural and social environments. For the realization of a sustainable society as well as sustainable growth as a company, the Products to Enhance Sustainability System is being promoted Group-wide to achieve ESG management at a higher level. SEKISUI CHEMICAL will seek to realize a sustainable society by 2030 through creating products that can contribute to solving issues in the natural and social environments when being manufactured as well as when customers use them.
