About Us
DEB + Stoko – Creating the World’s Leading Occupational Skincare Company
Deb and Stoko already have highly complementary geographic footprints, customers and products. Work will start immediately to integrate the two businesses.
Both companies have brought industry leading products to the market over the years and now the R&D teams within both companies will combine to create further ground-breaking products and systems which will lead the fight against occupational skin disease.
Bryan Anderson, CEO said, “Deb is not simply buying Stoko, it is recreating itself. Our combination allows us to more readily implement skin care programmes that deliver essential products, vital information and standards of behaviour which will increase efficiency, improve skin health and prevent infection in the workplace. It’s a once in a generation opportunity”.
