"This agreement will bring value to the consumer electronics market, I'm sure" says Alessandro Storti, CEO of SBS. “Throughout the weeks of lockdown, in fact, we did not abandon the innovative nature that we are renowned for and we sought new solutions to meet the highest requirements of our customers in terms of quality.”

Addmaster Marketing Manager Karl Shaw says: “We are delighted to be working with SBS. This addition to the consumer electronics market is an important technological breakthrough and ideal for hygiene critical environments.”

SBS, thanks to its collaboration with Addmaster Ltd, will in July be launching a new line of smartphone accessories that will incorporate BioMaster, an antimicrobial technology capable of proactively reducing, preventing and inhibiting the growth of bacteria by up to 99.9% on surfaces treated with this agent.

BioMaster, a silver ion technology also used in the medical field, is extremely safe for the environment and for humans; it helps keep surfaces sanitised and reduces the risk of cross-contamination.

The accessories in the new BioMaster line are cases and screen protectors designed for Apple, Samsung and Huawei smartphones. The antimicrobial agent, incorporated directly into the production phase, guarantees extremely effective and certified protection against microbes and bacteria.
