Polygiene adds value to brand Descente, part of Anta Sports Products group’s extensive portfolio
For the spring and summer season 2021, a number of Descente training products for men and women, with Polygiene® Stays Fresh BioStatic Technology, will be sold online and in stores. With these initial orders, the focus is set for ongoing business and increasing volumes from this renowned brand, in the Chinese sports market.
Descente comments: “For a long time, Descente has adhered to the innovation of new technology, designed to drive the spirit of sports, and strive to create better sportswear. Polygiene, having its head office in Sweden, is the world leader in stays fresh and odor control technologies, is highly compatible with Descente in terms of sustainable development and better service for consumers, which is in line with the long-term development goals of both sides. Clothes treated with Polygiene antibacterial technology remain fresh and odor-free, enhancing the consumer product experience. This cooperation is another in-depth interpretation of Descente's meticulous attention to detail and dedication."
