Brief Description of the Company (sector/target market/main products-services)

SIGMA Kula d.o.o. was founded in 1989. Our basic business is the production of HLOROGEN plants and Automatic Dosing Systems. First HLOROGEN plant was produced in 1996 and since than it has been constantly improved. Sigma is engaged in engineering, installation and maintenance of on‐site automatic systems for disinfection of drinking water. In our offer are also training of underlying the link of your workers and remote system monitoring. Our tradition and experience are company with the health care sector or Covid19 emergency guaranties for comprehensive service in water disinfection. Since 1996 we installed more then 120 HLOROGEN plants. The rapid spread of the coronavirus Covid‐19 pandemic has put disinfectants in extraordinarily high demand, price escalation and slowing down or even breaking the supply chains. Some countries have even imposed bans on the export of disinfectants, making the local self‐sustainable production an important asset in resilience to Covid‐19 and other similar health hazards. We produce technological equipment for making disinfectant solution based on sodium hypochlorite (biocide agent) in 5 different concentrations, at the place of consumption, for the needs of disinfection of space, surfaces and hands. According to WHO recommendations, as well as those of the European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control, disinfectants based on biocide sodium hypochlorite are impactful in preventing the spread of the coronavirus. The sodium hypochlorite is made by electrolysis of an aqueous solution of common salt, which is a completely ecologically sustainable and safe process, without negative effects on the environment or people. The resulting disinfectant has a maximum concentration of 1% of the active ingredient which is in line with t Classification and Labelling Directive of the EU. The equipment can be adapt to produce different active ingredient concentrations according to user needs. At a concentration of 1% each device produces minimum of 2,400 litres of disinfectant daily. By diluting to concentrations of 0.02% to 0.5%, the minimum daily quantity of disinfectant solution raises to 4,800 litres. Suggested concentrations of the active ingredient in hospital settings are 0.5% for disinfecting spaces, surfaces and hands. By applying this technology health care facilities would be able to produce their own disinfectant in the required quantity and concentration, thus become independent from the procurement of disinfectants and achieve financial savings. Primarly for this project customers are clinics and health facilities. By using our equipment these customers will make financial seving of 90% per each leter of produced disinfectant in compare to commercial disinfectants sold on the market. Secondly our customers will stop producing packaging waste at all. After health facilities our biggest customers will be water parks, public pools, SPAs, as much as other users which have large number of visitors per day. By using our equipment these customers will make financial seving of 90% per each leter of produced disinfectant in compare to commercial disinfectants sold on the market, as well. Also secondly these users will stop producing packaging waste at all.

Strengths and innovation of your compaby/products. If your offer have quality standards

Besides the direct contact with respiratory droplets of an infected person, the coronavirus can also be transmitted through touching surfaces contaminated with the virus. In a hospital setting where the possibility of catching the virus from a contaminated surface is higher, cleaning and disinfecting regularly is an important precaution to lower the risk of infection. The rapid spread of the coronavirus Covid‐19 pandemic has put disinfectants in extraordinarily high demand, price escalation and slowing down or even breaking the supply chains. Some countries have even imposed bans on the export of disinfectants, making the local self‐sustainable production an important asset in resilience to Covid‐ 19 and other similar health hazards.

By applying this technology health care facilities would bable to produce their own disinfectant in the required quantity and concentration, thus become independent from the procurement of disinfectants and achieve financial savings. This is an innovative solution for disinfection in hospital settings. While the technology is not new, it has up to now been used in waterworks and its innovative application in the field of health could have a significant impact. The proposed solution is mobile and multi‐functional, which makes it an ideal long‐ term solution for rural or temporary health facilities. In addition to the production of disinfectant, this equipment can be used to monitor the phytosanitary correctness of water and disinfect water in the hospital water supply system. For these purposes, the equipment has been used in the Clinical Center of Vojvodina since 2010. The biocide product sodium hypochlorite in all mentioned concentrations is registered with the Ministry of Environmental Protection and entered in the list of biocide products. Strenghts: • High level of the Innovation • Strong technical capabilities • Strong human resource capabilities Competitive advantages? • Over 25 years of experience in production of in‐situ equipment • Financial reserves and privet funding • Awareness – over 120 installed plants even in health facilities • SIGMA Kula is established supplier of disinfectants for Serbian Public health sector • Competitive price • Independence in production – over 90% of all parts of proposed solution SIGMA Kula d.o.o. produces in‐house for itself
