Citing reasons for selling HighJump, the vice president and general manager of 3M Track and Trace Solutions Division, Lemuel Amen, notes that the company, “is refining its approach to providing comprehensive track and trace solutions for high-value assets and people that deliver customer value through asset utilization, safety and security.
