Xeros' technology cleaning face masks of key workers in France

Xeros Technology Group plc (AIM: XSG, 'Xeros', 'the Group'), the developer and provider of water saving and filtration technologies with multiple commercial and domestic applications, today advises that its partner in France, Georges SAS, is now using its Xeros-enabled washing machines to clean fabric face masks worn by French key workers during the current Covid-19 pandemic.

Georges SAS has put in place a programme with SNCF in Lyon to clean and sterilise up to 25,000 masks each week. SNCF workers each having their own masks which are individually tracked and traced through their lifecycle.

Use of Xeros' technology in this application follows extensive validation that it is highly effective in removing biological, HCFC's, heavy metals and asbestos contaminants from life protecting clothing, simultaneously extending the life of these expensive garments. In addition to SNCF, Georges serves many other iconic French enterprises as well as cleaning the uniforms of those restoring Notre Dame and the Eiffel Tower.

Karine Da Silva, Chair of Georges SAS said: "Our partnership with Xeros is fundamental. We could not imagine choosing an alternative to their technology to create and develop Georges. Through our partnership we have been able to convince the largest French companies such as SNCF, Air France and Renault to be our customers.

"Xeros' technical expertise has also enabled us to be extremely responsive in this time of Covid-19 in France. We were able to guarantee safe and efficient cleaning for our customers, and it has been a determining element to win new contracts and be able to take care of fabric masks in these times."

Mark Nichols, CEO Xeros commented "Our partnership with Georges is built on a deep mutual understanding of how our technologies meet their customers' needs. Karine and her team have built a fast-growing business based upon providing unparalleled life-cycle garment services to major and highly discerning French companies. We see them as a role model for the industry and look forward to working with them to continue their geographic and segmental expansion"
