“By leveraging STT’s expansive network and established foothold, Polygiene can achieve more rapid growth in China,” notes Ulrika Björk, CEO, Polygiene Group. “We signed the agreement with STT in 2022 and have quickly seen positive developments. I look forward to strengthening our relationship in the coming years as China reopensafter three years of Covid closure.”
