Don’t Put MICROBES on Display

HUNTERSVILLE, N.C., May 5 /PRNewswire/ -- Microban International, the global leader in built-in antimicrobial product protection, and the Hussmann Corporation, a leading manufacturer of refrigeration systems and food merchandising cases, have partnered to exclusively offer the industry's first multi-deck food display cases and reach-ins featuring Microban® 3G™ Silver and Zinc antimicrobial technologies.

Even after normal cleaning, microbes can quickly multiply on unprotected surfaces. Built-in to key shopper touch points, the combination of these Microban technologies will reduce the growth of bacteria that can cause stains and odors – providing cleaner cases in the refrigerated aisles and new peace of mind to supermarket and convenience store shoppers.

Hussmann shelving on multi-deck display cases is now infused with Microban® 3G™ Silver antimicrobial protection during manufacturing, helping to keep meat, produce and dairy cases cleaner and fresher between cleanings. Additionally, the door handles on Hussmann reach-in cases and walk-in cooler doors now feature Microban zinc-based antimicrobial protection to fight stain and odor-causing bacteria on one of the most commonly touched areas within supermarkets.

Microban® 3G™ Silver and Zinc antimicrobial technologies used in Hussmann products won't wash off or wear away for the lifetime of the products, providing lasting cleanliness protection around the clock. However, even though Microban protection keeps Hussmann display cases cleaner for longer, it should not be considered a replacement for normal cleaning practices.

Be among the first to learn about these new products by visiting Hussmann and Microban at the upcoming FMI Show happening at the Mandalay Bay Convention Center in Las Vegas, Nevada, May 10-13, 2010 in booth #147, or for more information visit www.hussmann.com.
