In an exclusive distributor agreement with French biotech company Proneem, Polygiene gains access to a groundbreaking, 100% bio-based active ingredient extracted from plant-based substances.

By partnering with Proneem, Polygiene secures a unique, first-to-market product with global exclusivity specifically in the Sports & Outdoor and Lifestyle & Fashion segments.
Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene Group, emphasized the importance of finding a bio-based technology that meets their rigorous quality requirements. The collaboration with Proneem has proven to be the perfect fit, aligning with their shared vision and values.
