Gregory Mountain Products is one of the most iconic names in American outdoor culture. Anyone even remotely familiar with hiking, backpacking, or outdoor pursuits in general has heard of them, as they have been designing some of the most widely used equipment in the backpacking space for over 40 years. Certainly, they were no stranger to Polygiene when they first approached us with the problem of microbial odor build-up on packs.
We are pleased to share the news that we have recently completed our acquisition of the leading global additive company Addmaster. The UK-based firm has been our supplier of antimicrobial additives for over 12 years, and we are both now aiming to build on the strong partnership we have developed over this time.
Sweden-based company Polygiene buys British Addmaster Holdings Limited, making it a comprehensive supplier of antimicrobial solutions for both soft and hard surfaces. On one of the last days of the year, an extraordinary general meeting voted in favor of Polygiene’s acquisition of Addmaster Holdings Limited at a purchase price of SEK 374 million.
Starting in October 2020, Polygiene® will treat Marks & Spencer’s kitchen towels. The towel is treated with Polygiene stays fresh antimicrobial technology and is part of M&S globally distributed core programs. The yearly forecasted order value of the kitchen towels is USD 75 000.
