Antibacterial Protection with Marechal Technology

ALL OF THE BENEFITS OF MARECHAL® TECHNOLOGY + ANTIBACTERIAL PROTECTION!

The World Health Organisation confirms that it is becoming harder and harder to treat bacterial infections. Regardless of the environment or industry, bacteria are everywhere to be found. The risk of contamination or infection from surface transfer is significant. A single bacterial outbreak in an industrial plant or processing facility can be devastating.

Continuing our drive for innovation, MARECHAL ELECTRIC have recently launched an anti-bacterial range to deliver best-in-class technology with the advantage of increased health protection to end users. Increased protection against bacterial infections has been achieved by infusing an active silver ion additive into Marechal poly handles, which provides a protective barrier inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

Thorne & Derrick have been appointed as official distributors of Marechal plugs and sockets in the UK, as of the 1^st of March 2023. Our demonstrated knowledge and expertise in the industry enables us to deliver the complete Marechal product offering in both Industrial and Hazardous Areas.
