The Orion Companies is a privately held Distribution partner focused on expanding operations and representation in strategic segments. We support our customer’s growth by developing solutions to solve their unique challenges. To expand our market leading service portfolio, The Orion Companies purchased VM OptiX, LLC to support our customers with enhanced digital capabilities and to grow our service offering thru Orion Sustainable Solutions. Additionally, I would like to announce that Jason Myers will join The Orion Companies to serve as our Director of Digital Services and Key Accounts. Jason will expand the VM OptiX digital platform offering to help customers solve the challenges they face every day.
Jason comes to The Orion Companies after spending 24 years in the herbicide industry. Jason graduated from college with a BS in Forestry and a MBA in Business, and he has worked several roles within manufacturing and Distribution across the US. Over the past 7 years Jason has also been working to develop the VM OptiX digital platform as an owner of VM OptiX, LLC. VM OptiX is a software tool that utilizes geo-spatial referencing to digitally capture vegetation management activities in a format that allows customers to improve safety while increasing transparency, accountability, and accuracy. The VM OptiX platform also captures and organizes data in a manner that allows for easy data retrieval and promotes sustainability.
Jason is passionate about VM OptiX and is driven to support our customers. This made him the ideal person to grow The Orion Companies digital presence while also supporting our Key Accounts as we continue to offer more value-added services that enhance partnership opportunities. I am excited to have Jason as the newest addition to The Orion Companies team.
