The company’s President and CEO, Apostolos Karabinis noted: “The occasion occurred when the Hellenic Copper Development Institute invited me personally to the think tank they organized in order to explore the applications of antimicrobial copper in health products. I came up with the idea to create an antimicrobial thermometer that would limit the spread of pathogenic microbes, and thus contribute to health preservation. The conversion of my initial concept into an actual health product was based on scientific research, experiments and clinical studies. The implementation path was not easy. It took much effort, faith, perseverance and a huge investment. But now, the first antimicrobial thermometer is available in the global market.“
