PROFILE |
 |
Ventro Corporation (formerly Chemdex) believes it has the formula for business-to-business marketplaces. The company unites suppliers and buyers of health care, food services, and life sciences with online catalogs, as well as electronic purchasing and support. Ventro's online marketplaces include Amphire (food service supply), Broadlane (medical supply), and Industria (fluid processing). MarketMile (office supply) is Ventro's newest marketplace. Chemdex, Ventro's initial marketplace offering life science products, and specialty medical products exchange ProMedix, were closed in early 2001 as the company refocused on selling its technology.
