Townsend Leather Upholstery for the Airline and Hospitality Industries with Agion Antimicriobial Protection


With tight spaces and recycled air, it’s safe to say it is common knowledge that airplanes provide the ideal environment for odor-causing microbes to grow. Luckily, Townsend Leather, makers of luxurious airline seating and hotel upholstery material, has added Agion antimicrobial technology to its product line. Agion’s antimicrobial technology is built into the leather as an integral part of the material. Upon contact with moisture Agion technology is activated. It is then released at a slow and steady rate to provide continuous, long-lasting protection against damaging bacteria and many other microbes on the surface of the seating.
Townsend Leather makes upholstery leather for interior designs in business and commercial aircraft, yachts, automobiles and luxury motor coaches, and for residential, hospitality and office furniture applications. Currently, Agion antimicrobial technology is being incorporated into Townsend’s hospitality upholstery and aircraft lines. For customers interested in adding Agion antimicrobial technology to leather surfaces they already own, the Leather Institute has developed a proprietary expert process for applying Agion to existing leather products.
