T he rising demand for disinfectants and hand and surface sanitisation systems has spurred steam engineering and control instrumentation major Forbes Marshall to tie up with Swiss start-up SymbioSwiss develop a unique chemical-free disinfectant.
With most hospitals facing difficulty in getting disinfectants to fulfil their daily requirements, the new joint venture, Swiss NeWater India, is providing the ecofriendly, surface sanitisation disinfectant free of charge to them as well as to laboratories and pharmaceutical industries. It is also available for public governing bodies like municipalities, local councils, hospitals, and public communities in Pune and Mumbai.
“This present action is fully in line with the core of our company’s Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) policy,” says the Indian company’s co-chairman Farhad Forbes. “We have always believed in contributing to community development, by working as a catalyst for social change, particularly in the local areas of our corporate operation.”
Adds Dr. Naushad Forbes, co-chairman of Forbes Marshall: “The need of the hour is for the industry to play a proactive role in combating the spread of Covid-19. This new ecofriendly sanitisation system has immense potential to reduce the spread of various pathogens. The Swiss NeWater technology comes at a very opportune time to help our health infrastructure also alleviate the current situation.”
