Deb Group Selected by Vendor Centric to Provide Hand Hygiene and Skin Care Products to Zoos, Aquariums and Museums Across the United States
CHARLOTTE, N.C.–(BUSINESS WIRE)–Deb
Group today announced that it has been selected by Vendor
Centric as the preferred vendor for skin care products for AZA
Smart Source and Alliance
Purchasing Cooperative – two purchasing cooperatives managed by
Vendor Centric on behalf of the Association of Zoos and Aquariums (AZA)
and the American Alliance of Museums (AAM). Zoos, aquariums and museums
across the country will have the ability to utilize Deb Group’s full
range of products at special cooperative pricing, including its hand
soaps, sanitizers, moisturizing lotions, sunscreen and customizable
dispensers.
“Museums, zoos and aquariums bring people face-to-face with fascinating
creatures and cultures, so we’re thrilled to partner with Vendor
Centric, AZA and AAM to make our products available at these popular
public facilities throughout the U.S.,” said Isabelle Faivre, Vice
President of Marketing, Deb North America. “Bacteria and infection can
spread quickly in public spaces, and in order to keep visitors,
employees and even animals safe, ensuring effective hand hygiene and
skin care practice is crucial.”
Deb Group’s skin care solutions are designed to help employees integrate
hand hygiene into their working day with as much ease as possible – from
regular handwashing with soap to the use of hand sanitizers where access
to running water is inconvenient.
The Deb Group skincare solutions will be available throughout the
facilities, including products formulated to serve the specific needs of
public restrooms, ticket booths, cafeterias, interactive displays and
other common areas.
