Optima Chemical appoints Terry Rathman as consultant
A leading authority on lithium chemistry
Rathman has a reputation as ‘Mr Lithium’, emphasising his industry status as the foremost authority on lithium chemistry, according to Gene Williams, president of Optima Chemical.
‘He is the ideal addition to our organisation, which now offers lithium products such as alkyllithiums, aryllithiums, lithium amides and lithium alkoxides, resulting from our recent acquisition and licensing of selected products from FMC Lithium,’ he said.
‘I am eager to collaborate with my new colleagues, looking forward to assisting them in promoting lithium products that include and highlight those targeted to sophisticated pharmaceutical applications,’ added Rathman.
Rathman is sole proprietor of t-Links Consulting, based in Gastonia, North Carolina. Since 2002, Rathman has been a technical consultant to Calvert Holdings, Chiral Technologies, PetroCrystals and Honeywell Pharmaceutical Fine Chemical Division.
Before establishing his own consultancy, Rathman was in charge of Organic Technical Development at FMC Lithium, advancing from his prior FMC assignments as senior technologist and earlier on, as a bench chemist.
