Savortex is a British IoT (Internet of Things) hand-hygiene technology company. It has designed a patent-pending, non-touch, smart hand sanitizer dispenser. Savortex argues that the worldwide market for 'Hand Sanitizers' is forecast to grow to $36.6 billion by 2026 in the wake of COVID-19. The company aims to become a segment leader in this sector.
