Scotmas claims have over 20 years experience in the development and manufacture of a range of water treatment, hygiene and environmental care solutions for a variety of industries, including agriculture, food processing, building services and healthcare.
It observes that today's healthcare environment is beset with problems such as legionnaires disease, MRSA, and hospital-acquired infections.
