LONDON and BRISBANE, Australia, February 27, 2017 - Microskin plc (MLSKN:Euronext Paris) announced today that the company has signed a major distribution agreement with market-leading, multinational distributor, Nice Pak Products. Under the agreement, Nice Pak Products will distribute ISOCOL products in Canada, China, and Singapore. Nice Pak Products has been distributing and marketing pharmaceutical, beauty and baby products in the Australasian region since 1991 with a proven track record of success.
Microskin recently acquired the business of ISOCOL International in an all-stock transaction. ISOCOL has been Australia's trusted antiseptic brand for 35 years. As one of the most versatile products on the market, ISOCOL leads the Australian market as a must-have antiseptic product, with a multitude of applications from general cleaning to skin treatment.
David Robinson Global Markets Director of Microskin said, "Nice Pak is the perfect fit to expand the ISOCOL products across Canada, China, and Singapore. The opportunity to distribute ISOCOL products into an established market like Canada is perfect for Microskin to prepare to build a larger footprint in North America."
Robinson continued, "Nice Pak's understanding of the ISOCOL brand and Australian heritage will be important in China and Singapore, where there is a huge demand for quality Australian products. In addition, this agreement positions our products to further penetrate the global antiseptic and disinfectant market, which is valued at US$8.1 billion with China forecasting the largest growth over the next five years."
