BELTON, SC (December 17,2020) – Mortuary Response Solutions®, (MRS®) founded in 2006 is an innovative leader in the development and design of unique mobile platforms, including refrigerated morgue trailers, specialized forensic trailers, autopsy trailers, storage, and packaging systems for mass fatality response, recently announced a technology and marketing agreement with Mopec, based in Madison Heights, MI.
Mopec is a manufacturer and distributor of high-quality pathology, anatomy, mortuary, and necropsy equipment and products and was founded in 1992.
“This new agreement allows MRS® to have a global marketing reach, for our innovative, patented systems, like the MERCSystem®”, explains Mike Richardson, CEO of Mortuary Response Solutions. Mr. Richardson has used his 20+ years of Mass Fatality Incident (MFI) response experience to create highly efficient and cost-effective systems. Richardson recently said, “Covid-19 has exposed the current lack of Mass Fatality Preparedness on a massive and overwhelming scale.” Richardson added that Professor Mark Woolhouse, a leading British scientist, has recently suggested another pandemic-causing ‘Disease X’ could be around the corner – and it is a matter of ‘WHEN not if’.1 “Preparedness is critical”, Richardson added.
“As the market transitions from disaster response to disaster preparedness, Mopec has now positioned itself, as a result of this cooperation with Mortuary Response Solution, to be a full-service Mass Fatality Preparedness provider”, Richardson, also commented.
