June 6, 2019 By Rick LeBlanc

 

Microban International LightningHUNTERSVILLE, N.C., June 6, 2019 – Lightning Technologies has entered into a long term, exclusive partnership with Microban International, the global leader in antimicrobial and odor control technologies, according to an announcement from Microban.

Lightning Technologies is proud to be the only pallet manufacturer with this superior antimicrobial protection in each of Lightning’s pallets.”

We entered into this exclusive partnership because we see a clear vision for Lightning adopting an innovations approach and staying ahead of the pack in a space that will continue to become more regulated in the future. We are proud to be on the cutting edge with them and to help in delivering differentiable value to the food industry supply chain,” said Michael Ruby, VP of Global Built-In Business at Microban.
