ST. PETERSBURG, Fla. — Eagle Lab Inc. said it has transformed part of its manufacturing footprint in the last month to allow for the production of Bactekill, an O-T-C quality hand sanitizer.

Bactekill (www.bactekill.com) is described by the company as a new brand formulated by scientists with over 30 years of experience. “Registering with the FDA has allowed the development of a high quality hand sanitizer with 70% alcohol,” the company stated.

By adding this new product line, Eagle Labs said it has created over 30 new jobs in the St. Petersburg market. “Many of our new hires came from people recently laid off by other companies in the area,” the company stated.

Retailers interested in discussing distribution opportunities or opportunity for bulk purchases for employees can contact Michael Law, chief commercial officer at [email protected].

Eagle Labs will continue to manufacture other topical skin care, nutritional and dietary products.
