They also provide opportunities for our team members to learn from industry experts, share best practices, showcase our cutting-edge technologies, and develop valuable new skills. As you will see, Covia continues to be a key contributor to the industry's evolution, reinforcing our position as a leader. Essential Minerals Association 2025 Annual Conference Andy O'Brien, Senior Vice President of Environmental Health and Safety, and Mona Legin, Ergonomics Specialist, represented Covia as invited speakers at this year's annual Essential Minerals Association conference. They emphasized the company's commitment to improving the health and safety of miners in the industry. Andy discussed the implementation of DustShield technology, which is designed to prevent overexposure to respirable crystalline silica (RCS) during screen changes. He illustrated its potential for adoption throughout processing stages and its ability to significantly reduce RCS levels. Mona concentrated on Covia's adoption of Soter Analytics technology, illustrating how wearable sensors and video evaluations detect ergonomic hazards, promote safer practices, and diminish reportable injury incidents. Covia was pleased to participate in the conference and engage with industry experts, which helped enhance our insight into the essential minerals sector. Eastern Coatings Show 2025 This week, Covia participated in the Eastern Coatings Show, an event that brings together leaders in coatings innovation. Covia's Senior Technology Manager, Scott Van Remortel, presented his technical paper titled 'Surface Treated Nepheline Syenite for Enhanced Performance in Industrial Coatings.' Applications data showing improved performance of industrial maintenance floor and general industrial top coats with nepheline syenite fillers treated with silane coupling agents will be presented. This new technology for both solvent and waterborne floor coatings and solvent-borne top coats will provide the formulators with low silica formulations that deliver higher filler loading, gloss retention, water, chemical and corrosion resistance. We were pleased to be among a respected group of presenters demonstrating how advanced mineral technology improves performance, durability, and sustainability in industrial coatings.

Locus Technologies Releases Service Order Management App
Enterprises boost productivity, reduce costs, and capitalize on AI-driven insights MOUNTAIN VIEW, Calif., May 27, 2025 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Locus Technologies, the sustainability and Environmental Health and Safety (EHS) compliance software leader, announced the release of its Locus Service Order Management (SOM) app, a user-configurable software-as-a-service (SaaS) to help complex organizations efficiently manage any work order lifecycle and streamline any service workflow with transparency, auditability, and AI modeling. The Locus Service Order Management app automates the scheduling, dispatching, and tracking of service tasks for any department, from inception to closure, all within a single unified platform. Locus SOM integrates with 30+ purpose-built apps in the Locus ecosystem, enabling seamless integration with adjacent apps for service order-centric initiatives, such as EHS and water compliance, incident response, and asset management. 'Locus Service Order Management is the missing piece for organizations looking to streamline field operations and compliance response without adding another disconnected system,' said Neno Duplan, founder and CEO of Locus Technologies. 'It makes little sense for customers to license and manage standalone service order software when they can use our fully integrated, AI-ready platform to initiate, track, and document corrective actions—whether responding to a water compliance alert, a refrigerant leak, or any other field event—directly from within the same system they already use to manage environmental data.' Locus SOM includes end-to-end workflow automation, dashboards and reports, process analytics, field service management (FSM), tasking, notifications, routing/territory planning, asset and equipment management, incident management, and corrective action tracking. All Locus apps are metadata-driven, which empowers users to configure the interfaces and workflows within Locus Service Order Management to meet the needs of any department, from compliance to customer service and ITSM. 'There's no limit to the types of business processes our customers can manage with Locus Service Orders; it could be equipment maintenance or service outages. The app flexes to any use case,' said Duplan. All Locus software is delivered via a multitenant cloud that centralizes and secures customers' data, enabling scalability and AI that continually improves as the collective data grows. 'The Locus Service Order app improves service delivery and reduces operational costs through the efficient, automated management of work orders and the generation of insights to optimize workforces and transform processes,' said Duplan.
