Newark, New Jersey-based BioNeutral Group Inc. announced it has entered into a sales and distribution agreement with Nyco Products Company (Nyco) in Countryside, Illinois, to distribute BioNeutral’s YGIENE 206 Sterilant for advanced infection control. Nyco is a respected manufacturer of cleaners, disinfectants and sanitizers for janitorial, hospitality, long term care, MRO, and food service.

The partnership between Nyco and BioNeutral will be advantageous for customers of both companies. The product brings additional efficacy in infection control to Nyco’s product offering, while Nyco provides exceptional support in sales and customer training, plus critical exposure to a national distribution network for BioNeutral.

According to Ray Dunning, BioNeutral senior vice president of sales, “Nyco’s ability to offer us direct and immediate national access to long term health care markets and other specialty channels is extremely attractive. Without question, Nyco is the type of company with whom we want to be associated. Their commitment to innovation in cleaning and disinfecting along with their industry leadership and longevity make them an ideal distributor partner for BioNeutral.”

Nyco Products Company is a specialty manufacturer of high performance national cleaning brands and private branded chemicals used in the sanitary maintenance, healthcare, hospitality, food service, industrial, institutional and other cleaning markets.

“We’re very excited to team up with BioNeutral to be able to offer our customers amazing solutions that have the potential to reduce healthcare associated infections (HAIs) in hospitals and other healthcare facilities,” said Bob Stahurski, Nyco president and CEO. “A one-step non-chlorine bleach alternative sterilant that kills all mircoorganisms within 20 minutes could highly impact disinfection procedures and protocols for the healthcare market. One key reason we chose to partner with BioNeutral is because [the product] does not have the adverse patient reactions associated with chlorine and bleach based products.”
