INTAMARKET GRAPHICS APPOINTED EXCLUSIVE DISTRIBUTION PARTNER FOR TOUCHSHIELD™ IN SOUTH AFRICA

Touchshield™, a unique range of anti-microbial protective film solutions manufactured in the UK secures move into African markets, signing up exclusive partnership with Intamarket Graphics to serve the continent.

“We had been inundated with requests for anti-microbial films during the first wave of the COVID-19 infections in South Africa” commented Gavin Turner, Managing Director of Intamarket Graphics. “Despite much research I was only able to find anti-bacterial products in the global market. Where we would consider these products, customers always asked if they also eliminated viruses which of course they did not. Large hospitals, pharmaceutical chains and many of our direct customers urged us to continue looking for a product which also had certified anti-viral properties.”
