Polygiene Group x Proneem
The Polygiene Group has launched a unique antimicrobial technology for textiles, derived from plants. They have entered into an exclusive distributor agreement with the French biotech company Proneem, giving Polygiene access to a new and innovative technology that enhances their existing lineup of odor control solutions. This agreement spans three years and aims to meet the growing demand for metal-free antimicrobial additives in certain regions.
The technology is centered around a 100% bio-based active ingredient extracted from plant-based sources. This addition complements Polygiene’s current silver-based solution and aligns with the trend in some regions seeking metal-free antimicrobial options. The active ingredient, derived from a natural organic acid widely used in the food, pharmaceutical, and cosmetics industries, provides a sustainable alternative. The collaboration with Proneem grants Polygiene exclusive access to this first-to-market product in the Sports & Outdoor and Lifestyle & Fashion segments.
Polygiene has actively sought a bio-based technology meeting stringent quality requirements, and the partnership with Proneem has proven to be an ideal match. The newly introduced StayFreshBIO™ is expected to play a crucial role in the company’s future development, according to Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene Group.
Nathalie Hagege, Founder and CEO of Proneem, expresses confidence in the collaboration with Polygiene Group, emphasizing their competence and innovation in the field. As a market leader, Polygiene is viewed as the right partner for Proneem. The groundbreaking nature of the product, being a 100% plant-based technology with high effectiveness, adds further significance to the partnership.
