Microban International, Lightning Technologies partner to treat pallets with antimicrobial protection
The goal is to incorporate Microban’s antimicrobial technology inhibit the growth of bacteria on pallet surfaces.
Lightning Technologies, Oxford, Mich., entered into a long-term, exclusive partnership with Microban International, a Huntersville, N.C.-based provider of antimicrobial and odor control technologies, to incorporate Microban’s antimicrobial technology inhibit the growth of bacteria on pallet surfaces.
"We have had such strong interest and demand from produce and protein growers, pharmaceutical manufacturers and retailers that we wanted to further enhance the differentiation and cleanliness proposition of our pallets by adding superior antimicrobial product protection," says Jeffrey Owen, chief executive officer of CEO Lightning Technologies. "The growth of bacteria on coated and untreated wood pallets has been a significant vulnerability for all food-related industries. Lightning Technologies is proud to be the only pallet manufacturer with this superior antimicrobial protection in each of Lightning's pallets."
