Our distributor Bonaventura Scandza has signed an agreement with NorgesGruppen for the sale of SafeDes alcohol-free hand disinfectant.
From February, some of the country's largest grocery chains will start selling SoftOx SafeDes hand disinfectant under the brand name «Aeris». The agreement with NorgesGruppen includes Meny, Spar, and Bunnpris stores, where 39 Meny stores will include the products in a fixed listing, while our partner Bonaventura Scandza will be allowed to sell our products to all the other stores locally. Meny has a total of 200 stores, Spar has 295, and Bunnpris has 250.
«I am very pleased with this agreement. This is a large and exciting agreement for us, as it is aimed specifically at consumers. Here we expect that considerations of efficacy, safety, and clinically proven skin friendliness will be of great importance. An important part of the consumer market is children who are more exposed to skin problems than adults. The product is also nonflammable and nontoxic,” says Sales and Marketing Director Hans Petter Grette of SoftOx Solutions AS.
As a result of increased focus on infection prevention and control among consumers, Bonaventura Scandza in collaboration with Aeris AS and SoftOx Solutions AS has created a new category for infection control products under the Aeris brand, which includes hand disinfectants from SoftOx Solutions. These three companies will now together market and sell Aeris's products to the pharmacies and the retail market in the Nordic countries and the UK.
"We are now experiencing increasing interest in our products. The market demands effective and skin-friendly disinfectant products, "says Grette
