Swedish odour control specialist Polygiene is to open a new subsidiary in Hong Kong as part of its aim to further strengthen its presence in the region. 

The firm, which provides odour control technology and Stays Fresh solutions, says the opening of Polygiene Hong Kong will give it a stronger presence in “one of the leading and most dynamic markets in the world.”

“Asia is, and will continue to be, an important market ahead. Our strong presence in the area is key, and since China plays a major role, Hong Kong is the best decision both strategically and on a geographic level,” explains Ulrika Björk, CEO of Polygiene. “Local staff has already been offering production support for partners in Hong Kong and mainland China for a number of years.”

Björk was promoted to the position of CEO earlier this year.
