The Metropolitan Group has installed Sharp air purifiers with its patented plasma cluster technology in all mCentres across the island to ensure a safe and secure shopping environment for patrons.
“In a time when organisations in any industry are looking at means and options to ensure the safety of their employees and customers, the Sharp range of air purifiers offers an added layer of protection,” said Head of Retail and SMB, Shamaz Hossen. Research by the Sharp Corporation has revealed its air purifying technology as being able to reduce the effectiveness of the airborne novel coronavirus particles, claiming it as a world first. The results were released in September 2020 and conducted in partnership with Nagasaki University.
The Plasmacluster Ion technology engineered and patented by Sharp is the recipient of the prestigious Invention Prize at the 2008 National Invention Awards Ceremony held by the Japan Institute of Invention and Innovation (JIII).
Given the current economic conditions when operations are being scaled down and employees have to work in close confines, or in industries such as hospitality or the medical industry, the Sharp Air Purifier offers an added layer of protection by removing contaminants such as germs, viruses, dust and mould.
Senior Manager, Marketing, Hasalaka de Silva said, “Unlike basic purifiers that come with air conditioning units, the Plasmacluster Ion technology in Sharp air purifiers will actually act on the harmful novel Coronavirus which other purifiers are not capable of.”
