Jiva Innovative Automation Pvt Ltd, based in Bengalaru, will support the expansion of the company’s AF India operation by promoting the AF range of sanitising products across India. Initially, Jiva Innovative Automation will represent AF’s best-selling hand sanitising solution, ‘Hygienic Hand Sanitising Liquid’, formulated with 80% alcohol, to the recommended WHO International standard.Jiva Innovative Automations Pvt. Ltd. will continue to support further anti-bacterial solutions which will be introduced to the Indian market to help contain the spread of the coronavirus and enable customers to effectively maintain their hand hygiene in the aftermath of the crisis.
The Hygienic Hand Sanitising Liquid has been independently tested to EN1500 for its anti-bacterial action and successfully kills 99.9% of germs, making it a highly effective sanitiser against coronavirus. For every litre purchased, 1.00 rupee will be donated to the PM CARES Fund to help provide support to those affected by the Covid 19 pandemic. Jiva Innovative Automation have been pro-actively pairing interesting dispensing solutions to work with the AF products, such as a pedal operated, hands free sanitiser dispenser designed specifically for the AF sanitiser bottle, a leg operated door opener and an automatic sanitiser dispenser for contactless hygiene.
Padmanabha Shakthivelu, General Manager of AF India, comments, “We are delighted to be working with such a tenacious distribution company in India.Mr Venkatesh, Managing Director of Jiva Innovative Automation, and Mr. Suresh Warrier , Head of Strategic Business, are spearheading the AF India business line and have been proactively promoting the AF range of sanitising products to their industrial customers and to a broader captive audience via social media and a direct sales team. Our sister operation, Electrolube India, has been successfully manufacturing in India and growing exponentially over several years now, and I think that the new partnership with Jiva for AF India, speaks volumes about the reputation that we have built in India, combined with our local manufacturing operation, fast delivery time, WHO formulation and trusted global brands.”
Ron Jakeman, Managing Director of AF International comments, “AF is in a leading position to reach new and existing customers in India, and we are pleased to partner with Jiva Innovative Automation to help us achieve this. AF is an established, well respected and trusted brand in over 55 countries around the world, and we are looking forward to expanding our range of cleaning and sanitising solutions to the Indian market. Cleaning and hygiene are important at the best of times, however, more so now than ever. I think we are expanding in India at a pertinent time, when cleaning is no longer optional and we all need to adopt a new way of working by installing cleaning stations across all sectors and facilitating the use of hand sanitiser for public services, organisations, retailers and for the general public at large as we all enter the ‘new normal’.
