To date, the world’s best known product based on Bayrepel® is Autan, a registered trademark of S.C. Johnson & Son, Inc., USA. In many countries across the world, dangerous diseases such as malaria, yellow fever and the West Nile virus are transmitted by mosquitoes and other insects. Bayrepel® supports the fight against these diseases and is recommended by the World Health Organization (WHO) as an active ingredient.

Only recently the active ingredient was also registered in Malaysia. In addition, Saltigo has also received the approval of the US Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) for two of its own formulas. The collaboration with Endura is now going to support product marketing in other important regions.

Along with the experience in developing, manufacturing and selling these active ingredients and synergists, the company is also expanding in the fine chemical intermediates area.
