TRICORBRAUN SIGNS AGREEMENT WITH AFA DISPENSING GROUP, FURTHER EXPANDING ITS SUSTAINABLE PACKAGING OFFERINGS

TricorBraun is the Preferred Distributor of AFA's Next Generation Sustainable and Rechargeable Flairosol® Sprayer and Bottle Device in the US and Canada

ST. LOUIS, Oct. 11, 2023 /CNW/ -- Global packaging leader TricorBraun announced today that it has signed an agreement with AFA Dispensing Group to be the preferred distributor for AFA's next generation sustainable and rechargeable Flairosol spray technology dispensing device in the US and Canada.

Flairosol is designed to replace aerosol packages. It is a propellant-free, non-pressurized system that can be recharged and reused, providing a better, healthier, and more sustainable solution.

The agreement broadens TricorBraun's sustainable packaging offerings and as AFA's preferred distributor, enables it to offer the Flairosol device to customers in the US and Canada in segments including personal care and beauty, nutraceuticals, home and fabric care, animal and pet care, and automotive. 

"At TricorBraun, we are focused on helping our customers become more sustainable," said Mark O'Bryan, chief operations officer, TricorBraun. "Our Flairosol agreement is another example of our efforts to provide our customers with a vast array of innovative, sustainable packaging options across substrates. We are thrilled to partner with AFA Dispensing Group."

As an aerosol alternative, Flairosol reduces environmental, health, and safety issues as well as supply chain restrictions and complexities. Without the use of propellants or pressure, Flairosol contains only product and has a more than 98% liquid evacuation rate. Designed to last, the Flairosol spray head can be easily removed and reused multiple times reducing overall waste. The larger head-style device has a prolonged, output and a continuous spray effect that produces an even, fine mist, ultra mist, or foaming spray pattern; the smaller-head design is applicable for the personal care market and on-the-go use. The Flairosol device features sustainability, high performance, and convenience with premium quality and an innovative design.

"TricorBraun shares our commitment to providing innovative solutions that offer better, healthier and more sustainable packaging options, enhancing brands in their differentiation," said Nir Gadot, CEO, AFA Dispensing Group. "We are excited to partner with TricorBraun to offer this unique technology and we look forward to working with their team to expand into new segments. Flairosol is good for people, good for the planet, and good for business."

TricorBraun's agreement with AFA Dispensing Group marks the latest development in the company's ongoing sustainability journey and continuous efforts to improve its environmental, social, and governance (ESG) impact. Read more about TricorBraun's progress in its inaugural Sustainability Report.
