E-Stone, Microban® in Exclusive Partnership
SEBRING, Fla. — E-Stone Corp. and Microban® International announce a exclusive partnership that provides Microban® antimicrobial product protection to E-Stone’s etherium™ by E-Stone engineered-stone surfaces for the next five years.
The benefits of Microban® antimicrobial product protection include improved visible and invisible cleanliness, ultimately, extending the engineered stone product life for customers of E-Stone’s sister companies TREND Group and RockSolid Granit.
“We are happy to announce this new partnership with Microban® International which we feel has come at the perfect time.” states Andrea Di Giuseppe, Global CEO TREND Group. “In today’s environment where people are concerned about cleanliness in their environments, we are committed to offering a product that will help empower them to have the confidence to worry less and enjoy life more.”
Huntersville, N.C.-based Microban® is a global leader in antimicrobial technology targeting the invisible microbes that contaminate surfaces. Working continuously, Microban® technology has been proven effective against a broad spectrum of bacteria that would normally double in number every 20 minutes on surfaces.
The patented Microban® technology is built into etherium™ slabs during the manufacturing process, resulting in antimicrobial protection for the life of the product, measured using established international laboratory protocols. The technology does not wash off or wear away and helps provide ongoing protection against the growth of bacteria that can cause product degradation 24 hours a day and 7 days a week, for the life of the product.
(Microban® technology is not designed to protect users against disease causing microorganisms. Microban® Products Company makes neither direct nor implied health claims. Normal cleaning practices should be maintained.)
Produced at E-Stone in Sebring, Florida (USA), etherium™ engineered stone surfaces are offered through RockSolid Granit, a home-remodeling franchise system (including Granite Transformations shops), and TREND Group, which focuses on commercial construction projects.
