Prolitec & Aromatizar Roll Out Ambient Scenting Business in Fast-Growing Brazil
Patented Air/Q Atmospheres™ Technology Will Help Brazil’s Spas, Resorts, Hotels, Healthcare Facilities, Retailers and Other Commercial Environments Create Richer Olfactory Experiences
RIO DE JANEIRO, BRAZIL -- October 4, 2012 -- Working with Rio de Janeiro-based Aromatizar, Prolitec, Inc. is bringing its patented Air/Q Atmospheres ambient scenting technology and services to commercial environments throughout Brazil, now the world’s top fragrance market with an estimated $6 billion in annual sales.
Vibrant sights, sounds and smells are central to Brazilian culture, and yet most resorts, spas, gyms, retail stores and other commercial environments in the country continue to rely on old-fashioned reed-diffusers, sprays and even scented candles as they strive to enhance the olfactory experience, noted Roger Bensinger, executive vice president of marketing and business development for Milwaukee-based Prolitec. “Air/Q Atmospheres was expressly created to replace these imperfect and, in some cases, environmentally questionable delivery systems,” he said. “This launch promises to help Brazil’s commercial users take ambient scenting to the next level.” Read More
