News Release
HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., May 29 /PRNewswire/ -- Microban International, Ltd., the global leader in built-in antimicrobial technology, has extended their existing partnership with Rubbermaid Consumer Products to Rubbermaid Commercial Products, the market leader in safety and productivity solutions for the foodservice industry.
Rubbermaid Commercial Products launched its new Sturdy Chair(TM) Youth Seat with Microban(R) antimicrobial product protection at the National Restaurant Association Show, May 19-22, in Chicago, IL. This innovative high chair is the first product introduction resulting from the exclusive alliance, and is the only high chair product available to the foodservice industry with Microban(R) antimicrobial protection. Microban technology works continuously to help prevent the growth of bacteria that can cause stains and odors, giving new peace of mind to food service operators and their patrons.
Under the right conditions, such as those commonly found on untreated high chairs, bacteria can double in number every 20 minutes. With the added protection of Microban(R) antimicrobial technology, the Sturdy Chair(TM) Youth Seat will stay cleaner between cleanings, making this a smart investment for food service operators.
"We are very excited about the addition of Microban(R) antimicrobial protection to Rubbermaid high chairs," said David J. Meyers, CEO of Microban International, Ltd. "As the foodservice industry continues to respond to pressure from consumers for a cleaner dining environment, products with Microban(R) technology will help fill this need by keeping foodservice products cleaner for longer. "
Rubbermaid Commercial's Product Director, Virginia Murray, noted, "We are especially excited as this exclusive partnership is groundbreaking within the commercial foodservice industry, and we are hopeful that it will lead to new opportunities for both companies."
