One of the best things about working for Polygiene® has always been meeting our amazing, innovative brand partners to learn more about their stories, teams and development and production processes. Since the pandemic, these meetings have typically taken place digitally, with screen-to-screen interactions replacing face-to-face meets. While trade shows and fairs are a welcome exception to the rule and a great opportunity to have in-person conversations and discussions, I feel we still benefit from getting out there and visiting brand partners on their home turf.
At Polygiene, we love to work with businesses that take a keen interest in sustainability, the environment and Mindful Living®. It’s great to see our technologies being put to good use. It is even better when the brand putting them to good use shares so many of our values and goals.
