GMP systems will soon become the exclusive distributor of JMAR’s advanced laser technology throughout the northeastern U.S.

San Diego, California-based JMAR Technologies (NASDAQ: JMAR), a developer of advanced laser technology, has signed a distribution agreement with Fairfield, New Jersey-based GMP Systems for JMAR’s BioSentry equipment sales and services.

This is good news for JMAR, as GMP is strategically located in a stretch of New Jersey which is considered to have the world’s largest concentration of pharmaceutical company headquarters. GMP is already in discussion with several of the country’s leading pharmaceutical companies to introduce JMAR’s BioSentry system.

BioSentry is already deployed in municipal water reservoirs, but also in breweries
