Oasis introduces touchless electronic tissue dispenser

May 31 2011

Oasis Brands, Inc. is bringing forth the evolution of the modern washroom with the introduction of the fully-enclosed, touchless Nvi® (pronounced "en-vee") Electronic Tissue Dispenser. The industry's first standard-sized electronic tissue dispenser is designed to reduce waste and labor cost while minimizing the risk of cross-contamination, and is ideal for those with limited range of mobility.

“Oasis Brands believes there needs to be a player in the industry who has the willingness to invest in brand development”

"Oasis Brands believes there needs to be a player in the industry who has the willingness to invest in brand development," said Philip Rundle, Chairman and CEO of Oasis Brands. "In an era when new technologies are expected to improve people's lives in all areas of building management and maintenance, the washroom is often overlooked. Oasis recognized an unmet need in the current washroom offering and committed to product development in order to offer a solution with our newest dispenser."

Cross-contamination is one of the most pressing concerns in the healthcare industry and it affects the sick as well as caregivers. This fully-enclosed electronic tissue dispenser helps to create a more sanitary environment with no exposed rolls. The ADA compliant dispenser system also meets the needs in handicapped stalls for people with limited range of mobility who have difficulty with something most take for granted - toilet paper.

"With the introduction of the Nvi Electronic Tissue Dispenser, Oasis Brands is taking a giant step forward in an industry that has been dormant for too long," said David Pierro, Chief Sales and Marketing Officer for Away-from-Home for Oasis Brands. "The dispensers' ability to diminish cross-contamination and aid those with limited range of mobility is an innovation long overdue, and it reinforces that Nvi is a comprehensive brand committed to the needs of our customers."

The electronic tissue dispenser is the latest addition to Oasis Brands' full-line of Nvi dispensers, a one-of-a-kind towel and tissue dispenser system designed to work with the reduced-core towel and tissue product family, LoCor®, for maximum volume and savings. This results in a 72 percent reduction in packaging waste and a 50 percent reduction in core waste and product consumption.

LoCor tissue is available in both Paseo®, an ultra premium line of towel and tissue products that offers superior home-like comfort in the Away-from-Home market, and LiviVPG®, premium tissue products manufactured using virgin plantation-grown fiber from PEFC-certified sustainable sources.

Lower cost-in-use, improved hygiene and unmatched reliability with a superior battery life are only a few reasons why Nvi is changing the game. The dispenser system coupled with LoCor tissue made from rapidly renewable fiber also allows customers to qualify for LEED points.
