Malmö, Sweden — World leading odor control ingredient brand Polygiene AB announces the appointment of Paul Middleton as a Technical Director with focus on textile applications.
In his new role, Paul will be responsible for working closely with the company’s brand partners to ensure proper application of Polygiene Odor Control Technology to partner fabrics and thereby increase the consumers’ perceived value of partner garments and gear.
In welcoming Paul to his role, Polygiene CEO Christian von Uthmann says, “Paul’s track record speaks for itself. He brings with him more than 30 years of textile industry experience to our company as we expand to meet increasing global demand for effective odor control technology by strengthening our international organization.
