Publish date: 7 Sep 2016

Polygiene announced a new partnership with Evezary, the Republic of Korea’s leading bedding and home textiles manufacturer, distributor and retailer. The alliance with Evezary Co., Ltd. gives Polygiene a strong foothold in the bedding and home textiles segment in South Korea. Polygiene Odor Control Technology debutes in products by Around Home, one of Evezary’s brands, with retail stores and online sale worldwide.

Initially, the collaboration focuses on introducing Polygiene Odor Control Technology to Evezary’s complete range of Around Home bedding products – from bed sheets and quilts to curtains and pillows.

“Awareness of the benefits of safe, antibacterial odor-control technology is growing among our customers,” says David Kim, General Manager, Evezary Co. Ltd. “Collaborating with Polygiene to introduce odor-free Around Home bedding products is in line with our mission to create cozy bedrooms and a healthy life for our customers. It also helps position our company to meet future consumer demand.”

“We are quite happy with the performance of Polygiene and decided to introduce odor control in all of our products lines – from fillers to bed linens,” says Jennifer Lee, General Manager, Around Home. “Our entire product lines – from A to Z – are treated with Polygiene.”

“Our partnership with Evezary and Around Home is in line with our business strategy to expand our foothold in the global home textiles segment,” says Christian von Uthmann, CEO, Polygiene. “There is great potential for home textiles in the region and we believe in strong growth the coming years, which bodes well for Evezary and Polygiene alike.”

Evezary products are sold in retail stores in South Korea, in Germany, Italy, China and Japan through the company’s global business network and online.
