“Polyorganic’s technical capabilities, market expertise and strong product portfolio are an excellent fit with IMCD and complements our growing presence in the HI&I market,” said Nicolas Kaufmann, Managing Director, IMCD Brasil. “Sanitation and infection control have undoubtedly experienced a sharp increase in demand over the past two years.
