On June 7, 2011, Visualant, Inc. (“Visualant” or the “Company”), an emerging leader in authentication systems technology, closed the acquisition of all Visualant related assets of the RATLab LLC (“RATLab”).
The RATLab is a Seattle based research and development laboratory created by Dr. Tom Furness, founder and Director of the HITLab International, with labs at Seattle, University of Canterbury in New Zealand, and the University of Tasmania in Australia.

With this acquisition, the Company will consolidate all intellectual property relating to the SPM technology. In addition to its current authentication and security applications of SPM, the Company will now own all other applications including the important fields of medicine, agriculture, and the environment and begin the creation of the Visualant Laboratory.
