Date:7/16/2008

ST. LOUIS, July 17 /PRNewswire-FirstCall/ -- SAFC Supply Solutions(R), a focus area within SAFC(R), a member of the Sigma-Aldrich Group (Nasdaq: SIAL), announced today that the Company has launched a new initiative designed specifically to assist its customers with their regulatory requirement under the new European Union (EU) regulation for chemicals -- Registration, Evaluation, Authorization and restriction of Chemicals (REACH) http://www.safcsupplysolutions.com/reach.
