Berger Paints launches disinfection services

Berger Paints Bangladesh yesterday launched disinfection services to help people and business houses steer clear of any infections amid the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic.

The Berger Expert Sanitisation Service is a convenient and effective way to give businesses and homeowners the confidence that their places will be safe for all the members and customers, said Md Mohsin Habib Chowdhury, senior general manager for sales and marketing at Berger Paints Bangladesh, a listed company.

The service provided by trained professionals meets the standards of the World Health Organisation, he said at an online event that was organised to launch the service.

The solutions will provide up to four weeks of protection against virus and bacteria, Chowdhury added.

The service cost is Tk 3.50 per square feet if the premise is less than 5,000 square feet. It is Tk 3 for premises between 5,000 and 10,000 square feet. The service charge is Tk 2.5 when the premise is larger than 10,000 square feet.

"The disinfectant is environment-friendly and is non-irritant to skin and eyes; as such, it will not be harmful to humans or animals," said AKM Sadeque Nawaj, general manager for marketing at Berger Paints Bangladesh.

On top of that, the solutions can be sprayed on all materials, even fabrics, and will kill 99.99 per cent viruses and germs, he said.

Customers will be able to book the service through the company's service centres, Berger experience zone outlets, call centre, website and official Facebook page.

The service is available in Dhaka and Chattogram now and will be expanded gradually, said Nawaj.

Shabbir Ahmed, head of project of Prolinks and Experience Zone; Noman Ashrafee Rahman, head of decorative brands; AMM Fazlur Rashid, head of channel engagement, and Md Saiful Ashraf, manager for research and development, also spoke at the event.
