With more than 150 years of experience in manufacturing and supplying scissors world-wide, leading US company, Westcott, has established a range of antimicrobial products into Australia which are now available in Big W and Officeworks online.
Scientific research shows that many household items are bacterial breeding grounds and so if you’re packing the kids’ pencil case for back to school, or planning to share scissors around the home or office, it pays to have peace of mind that they are clean and safe to use.
“Hygiene is an important part of our daily lives as we transition back to school and work,” says Jessica Pattison, marketing project manager at Westcott Australia.
Westcott Antimicrobial Scissors are coated with a special antimicrobial agent that helps inhibit the growth of bacterial stains and odours, helping to defend against microbes and microorganisms such as common bacteria, yeast, mould and fungi.
Scissors can harbour many microbes which can be easily passed from one person to another. An antimicrobial coating gives an additional layer of protection. It also helps keep your scissors cleaner for longer and extends their life by preventing deterioration caused by mould and mildew and helps prevent the growth of bacterial odours.
Made from the highest quality, stainless steel, the blades on Westcott Antimicrobial Scissors are expertly moulded into the handle for durability and reliability. They have a smooth, steady, cutting motion and a blunt tip for added safety, and are designed for ease-of-use by both left and right-handers.
From crafting, to school-work, office and home, there’s a Westcott Antimicrobial Scissor to suit every job.
Established in New York, USA in 1872, Westcott is a world-leader in providing exceptional cutting and measuring tools. The company has won multiple design awards for its scissors, rulers, sharpeners and maths tools. Westcott is distributed in Australia by Pilot Pen Australia and has been the leading scissor of choice for offices and schools for more than 12 years.
Choose from preschool training scissors sized at just five inches, all the way up to seven inch scissors for everyday use, Westcott also stocks a variety of other antimicrobial stationary including sharpeners and compasses.
