TOMI Environmental Solutions, Inc.® (“TOMI”) (NASDAQ:TOMZ), a global company specializing in disinfection and decontamination solutions, announced a partnership with International Business Development (I.B.D.) as a distributor in Italy.
The partnership between TOMI and I.B.D. originated during the INTERPHEX conference earlier this year. During the event, I.B.D. had the opportunity to acquaint themselves with SteraMist and subsequently evaluated its efficacy at one of TOMI’s existing customers in Italy. Leveraging its extensive network, I.B.D. is expected to help drive broader acceptance of SteraMist’s advanced disinfection technology to reinforce contamination control practices throughout Italy.
I.B.D, founded in 1997, distributes high technology solutions to the Automation and Robotics, Automotive, Metal and the Life Sciences industries. I.B.D. serves customers in the Pharmaceutical Isolator Market in Italy, a key market vertical for TOMI. The worldwide Pharmaceutical Isolator Market was valued at USD $1.62 billion in 2021 and is predicted to reach USD $4.17 billion by 2030 with multiple leading isolator manufacturers based in Italy.
“We are thrilled to incorporate SteraMist into our product offering and embark on the distribution of the product line across Italy,” stated Renzo Pizzonia, CEO of I.B.D. “Preliminary discussions about SteraMist and its various applications with potential customers has resulted in a high level of initial interest in the product, and we are confident about SteraMist’s prospects in this market.”
This partnership aligns with TOMI’s introduction of its integration series to the market. I.B.D.’s offering of the SteraMist product line will help drive the incorporation of the product into isolators and decontaminate cleanroom equipment, leveraging its distinctive benefits such as a noncorrosive formulation, residue-free application, and six log reduction. This ensures the safety and integrity of sensitive equipment while adhering to the Good Manufacturing Practices (GMP)/cGMP standards upheld by the European Union.
“I.B.D. is a perfect partner for us, and the prospects presented by this partnership are promising as we collaborate to expand the reach of SteraMist to a wider audience in Italy. By leveraging our combined expertise, resources, and dedication to delivering quality solutions, we are confident that we will be able to drive further growth in the Italian market together,” Elissa J. (E.J.) Shane, COO of TOMI states.
