Polygiene teams up with Fogni, Korean fiber filling manufacturer, for odor-free home textiles and furniture

Polygiene today announced a strategic partnership with Fogni Co., Ltd., the
Republic of Korea’s leading manufacturer of functional, environment friendly
fiber filling for home textiles and furniture as well as bedding for use at
home, hospitals and hotels.
The alliance combines Polygiene’s expertise in odor control technology with
Fogni’s market-leading manufacturing processes to deliver safe, antibacterial
and odor-free fiber filling to a broad range of home textiles, bedding and
furniture manufacturers to meet South Korea’s growing consumer and commercial
demand for healthier mattresses and home furnishings.

In September 2016, Polygiene Odor Control Technology with its antibacterial
functionality will debut in filler for bedding and sofas that Fogni has provided
to well-known Korean brands, including Heail Plus, Halo World, Jakomo, Doldam
and Milk Namu.

“Our mission is to create safer home environments and healthier lives for our
customers,” says Choong Su Kim, CEO, Fogni Co. Ltd. “Increasingly more of our
customers are aware of and ask for the benefits of odor-control technology.
Polygiene helps do away with unpleasant odors that can arise from using home
textiles and furniture while ensuring a safe, antibacterial environment. Our
collaboration with Polygiene will help make the homes of our customers healthier
places to live.”

“Our partnership with Fogni broadens Polygiene a foothold in the home textiles,
hospitals, hotels for bedding, and furniture market,” says Christian von
Uthmann, CEO, Polygiene. “We look forward to continued cooperation to introduce
odor-free filling for an even wider range of home furnishings, large and small –
from mattresses and sofas to comforters and cushions.”
