Antimicrobial Trolleys for Supermarkets & Hospitals
“With the intention of continuous improvements in our line of products, we have already developed for some years an exclusive and growing partnership with Microban® International, for the application of Microban® antibacterial protection in all our products that involve human and / or food contact.

Microban® is also manufactured into carriages for hospital use, which in turn have access to all the departments of the hospitals leaving them completely vulnerable to the transfer of contaminants.
