International. Sanitized AG brings together its long-standing competence in the field of antibacterial paints and coatings into a new company of its own: Sanitized Preservation AG. Leading the new partnership is David Tierney, who until now held the position of Global Business Director, Coatings at Lonza AG and will be responsible for developing and intensifying international contacts.
Antimicrobial protection of paints and coatings in production, during storage and in application, in accordance with current regulations: precisely this is the focus of the activity of the new company Sanitized Preservation AG. For the first time, packaging and dry film preservation for paints is offered, as well as hygiene audits for production plants, in order to provide full support to customers in the area of industrial hygiene.
Paints and coatings with Sanitized protection prevent microbial colonization and mold formation. Individual protection objectives such as applications in the medical field or outdoor use under special climatic conditions are part of the Sanitized Preservation AG product portfolio. Those responsible note a greater demand for hygiene measures in public spaces such as schools, airports, railway stations and, above all, in hospitals and care and attention institutions.
An effective marketing aid is the use of the Swiss quality mark Sanitized. Manufacturers of paints and varnishes can declare the antimicrobial protection of their products with the Ingredient Brand Sanitized and thus make their advantages clearly visible against the competition – in all their marketing activities. Numerous companies in the textile and polymer industry around the world already use this service successfully.
The CEO of Sanitized Preservation AG is David Tierney, who until now held the position of Global Business Director Coatings at Lonza. "With more than 30 years of global experience in all segments of the antimicrobial industry and his deep knowledge of the sector, he is the ideal person to lead the new company Sanitized Preservation AG," says Urs Stalder, CEO of parent company Sanitized AG.
