About Galileo

Galileo is the exclusive supplier of additives for coatings, based on the innovative patented technology of Parx Plastics that makes polymers more resistant to attack by microbes and bacteria with an effectiveness of 99% and higher. The Parx Plastics technology stands out from all other currently available antimicrobial methods because it does not use chemicals or heavy metals, is non-toxic and can be applied to any polymer without affecting the existing characteristics of the material. Controlling the breeding of bacteria will be the main focus in the consumer markets in upcoming years, among others in food packaging and the healthcare industry.

Our approach

In 2014 Strong Root Capital acquired a stake in Parx Plastics and together with management focused on further optimising the effectiveness of the materials, expanding the product portfolio and finding launching customers for the Parx technology. In 2015 Strong Root Capital sold its interest in Parx Plastics, but continues to work as Galileo in partnership with Parx Plastics with an exclusive license for all coating applications of the Parx Technology.
