Microban International is launching two new non-heavy-metal antimicrobial products for plastics and rubber at K 2022

Microban will be showcasing its wide range of unique antimicrobial technologies for plastic and rubber materials, as well as launching two exciting next-generation products based on non-heavy-metal ingredients – LapisShield and Ascera. LapisShield can be seamlessly integrated into any water-based coating formulation, and is proven to inhibit bacterial growth by up to 99.99 %, as well as the growth of mold and mildew. Ascera represents Microban’s commitment to sustainable antibacterial chemistries for molded polymers and solvent-based coatings, formulated from a chemistry that is inspired by nature*. These exclusive new technologies therefore help to protect treated rubber and plastic surfaces from stains, odors and premature degradation, prolonging their useable lifetime and supporting reuse and sustainability.

Hagleitner Hygiene International – World first in hygiene: Touch-free wet wipe dispensing machine

Creators expect it to be a game changer for wet wipes

FRANKFURT AM MAIN, GERMANY – Newsaktuell – 12 October 2022 – This advance in technology was actually overdue, explains hygiene pioneer Hans Georg Hagleitner. “No more dried out wipes at the top of the pack. No more germs introduced by rummaging fingers,” says the inventor about his work. The automatic wet wipe dispenser was presented by Hagleitner in Frankfurt am Main on 12 October 2022, the first of its kind in the world: The device dispenses wet wipe after wet wipe entirely touch free; whilst also protecting its contents. Hagleitner wants to set new standards in hygiene with this innovation. The inventor emphasises that the wet wipe needs the dispenser like milk needs a refrigerator.

Game changer promotes sustainability

In essence it is a disinfectant wipe dispenser: The hand moves towards it, a sensor reacts, a dial opens, the disinfectant wipe appears; after removing it, the device closes automatically. Over time, however, it is not just about the disinfectant wipe, says Stefanie Hagleitner; Hans Georg’s daughter who is in charge of product management in his company. Stefanie Hagleitner is convinced that the invention heralds a new era for hygiene in general: “Customers wont have to rummage in some strange box of wet toilet paper any more. No more wipes will be thrown away in the future just because they have dried up – no more wasting of resources. Parents wont have to hunt around for the box of baby wipes any more either, because the dispenser solution is fixed in place.”

Digital shelf life monitor

Among other things, the invention can be controlled digitally. For example, an app offers a shelf life monitor: “Particularly in hospitals, disinfectant wipes must not be out of date, otherwise they lose their effect,” describes chemist and disinfection expert Kerstin Heine. The dispenser can provide information, transmitted online, about its fill level and charge status. The device has the option of mains power, rechargeable battery or recyclable energy unit; according to the manufacturer, the rechargeable battery and energy unit are sufficient for 20,000 operations each.

Market launch on 12 October 2022

Hans Georg Hagleitner calls his invention XIBU 2WIPE hybrid. The market launch is on the 12 October 2022, and the product will be available for purchase by companies from then on.

Made in Austria

Hagleitner presented XIBU 2WIPE hybrid at a press conference in Frankfurt am Main, from where he plans to manage his company’s German business. The company manufactures the dispenser, the wet wipes and purpose disinfectant in a central production facility in Zell am See (Austria).

Hagleitner

Hagleitner designs hygiene: detergents and disinfectants, cosmetics – plus dispensers, dosing devices and apps. The products are created in Austria, in Zell am See in fact. This is where Hagleitner has its headquarters and it is where research, development and production take place. Each additional branch is a sales office. The company operates from 27 sites in twelve European countries, and products are also available in 66 countries around the world through partners.

Hagleitner’s range of products is geared towards companies and public institutions with the hagi brand directly aimed at private customers.

Hagleitner employs a total of 1,314 people. The group of companies achieved a turnover of 133.3 million euro from April 2021 to March 2022, with exports accounting for 43.3 percent of this – according to the figures from the second year of the pandemic.

Family

Hagleitner Hygiene has been around since 1971 and is still firmly in family hands. Hans Georg Hagleitner took over his father Johann’s business in 1988 and has managed operations ever since. Hans Georg’s daughters Katharina and Stefanie also play leading roles in 2022: Katharina manages the Italian business; Stefanie is responsible for the product range and the consumer brand hagi.

ViewQwest sees growing demand for bespoke enterprise network and security solutions in the Philippines

Weaknesses of traditional network and security models magnified amidst expansion of digital transformation and widespread adoption of cloud applications and hybrid workforce

MANILA, PHILIPPINES – Media OutReach – 12 October 2022 – Business enterprises in the Philippines are increasingly opting for bespoke enterprise network and security solutions, alongside its peers in Southeast Asia. ViewQwest, a leading and award-winning regional telecommunications and Managed Security Services provider (MSSP), which has seen a surge in demand for its services in the country, revealed this in a select media briefing with key media publications here today. The company was represented by its Chief Executive Officer Vignesa Moorthy and Chief Marketing Officer Jurist Francisco-Gamban.

“In the Philippines, there is widespread enterprise adoption of cloud applications and the hybrid workforce as companies pursue continued digital transformation. Large enterprises with archipelago-wide branch networks and a distributed workforce require high-performance, high-availability and high-security access to their corporate network and resources – all while streamlining operations, driving cost savings and enabling business agility. This has magnified the weaknesses of traditional network and security models, and created the growing need for secure access service edge (SASE) and software-defined Wide Area Network (SD-WAN) services,” Vignesa Moorthy commented.

The Managed SASE and SD-WAN from ViewQwest converge networking and security services into one unified solution, replacing legacy data centre-oriented security with cloud-based architecture and places network and security controls on the edge, instead of the corporate data centre. Designed to fully support and deliver the highest performance for applications hosted in data centres and the cloud, including software as a service (SaaS), the solutions combine to enable enterprises to implement secure access from anywhere, allowing companies to reap enhanced protection and network performance, while reducing costs and complexity.

Localised understanding of unique regional needs

ViewQwest has been rolling out its Managed SASE and SD-WAN offerings across Southeast Asia, including the Philippines, with services designed and implemented to address the unique needs of large and highly distributed domestic and regional enterprises in the region. The offerings take into account the unique challenges in the region, including diverse connectivity and inconsistent network quality, rising bandwidth costs, data residency and data sovereignty requirements, and a rapidly evolving cyber threat landscape.

With a deep understanding of the Philippine market and the general Southeast Asian market, built on ViewQwest’s experience from large-scale enterprise projects, the company is cost-effectively delivering a simplified and high-availability network that provides superior network and application performance, as well as best-of-breed secure access to any remote user, branch office or device.

“We help customers transform their network and security architecture with confidence. Leveraging our telco DNA, we have built the most cost-effective, high-performance and reliable networking solutions integrated with our certified best-of-breed SASE capabilities from leading global cybersecurity leaders such as Palo Alto Networks. This allows us to create differentiated services that address unique security demands across our markets and customers – a distinct advantage that ViewQwest offers to enterprises in the Philippines and across Southeast Asia,” added Vignesa Moorthy.

ViewQwest has been named by Palo Alto Networks as a Next Wave MSSP Innovator. ViewQwest Philippines offers a complete range of global connectivity, SASE, SD-WAN and managed services required for enterprise network and security transformation. Since entering the Philippine market in 2019, ViewQwest has grown its clientele and now supports the needs of top Philippine enterprises across various industries.
