We believe BioCote® will make a strong

point of difference in our market and it has already helped our sales team open doors that were

previously closed.

BioCote® is the first name I think of when developing products

with antimicrobial features. Their

knowledge and expertise are

second to none.

The introduction of BioCote® has enabled us to reinvent our business

and consequently we have seen an average 97% increase in our

sales year on year since our partnership began.

Being able to reduce cross-contamination is extremely important to our clients who are becoming increasingly

hygiene-conscious.

BioCote® is an established industry

brand which enhances our product

offer, helping us achieve a market-leading

position.
