OrganoClick enters collaboration with Finnish Reima regarding resell of OrganoTex® Textile Waterproofing
In 2018, OrganoTex® was launched as a textile impregnation product for consumers used for making garments and fabrics water repellent. In Sweden, the products are sold by retailers such as Naturkompaniet, Alewalds, Outnorth, Team Sportia etc. In 2019 OrganoTex® was launched in Finland with Partioaitta as first reseller. OrganoClick is now entering a collaboration regarding resell of OrganoTex® Textile Waterproofing with Finnish Reima, a globally leading brand for functional children garments.
OrganoTex® Textile Waterproofing Spray-On and Wash-In has been developed during several years and have been designed to give good water repellency, yet being biodegradable.

Several of these chemicals are thought to be cancerogenic and hormone disruptive, as well as bioaccumulative in nature.
” We are very happy and proud to enter a collaboration with Reima, that have very high-quality standards for their children products. We are also looking forward in entering new geographical markets through the collaboration. With Reima as a collaboration partner and reseller, we also reach out to a group of active and environmentally conscious families which has a great need of water repellent garments but also wish to take care of the environment”, says Susanne Karlsson, Account manager OrganoTex® at OrganoClick AB.
