Product offeringCore offering
Breyner develops and supplies plant-inspired bioactive textile treatments based on Geraniol for industrial textile manufacturers, providing durable anti-dust mite, anti-bed bug, anti-mosquito, and antibacterial protection that is integrated into textiles during the manufacturing process. The company also sells consumer pest-control maintenance products — sprays, shampoos for carpets and rugs, and rinse additives — through Amazon, its GreenHelp e-commerce platform, and retail partners such as Leclerc for short-term household protection.
Product overview
Breyner is a specialist in bioactive textile treatments since 1998, offering plant-inspired pest control solutions. The company provides two main types of offerings: (1) Core-treated textiles for industrial clients, where treatments are integrated into textiles during manufacturing for long-lasting protection lasting months to years, and (2) Maintenance products for consumers available through Amazon and Greenhelp platform for temporary protection lasting days to weeks. The product portfolio is organized under the 'GREEN' brand family: Greenfirst (multi-purpose protection), Greentop (anti-dust mite), Greensphere (antibacterial/anti-mite), GreenHome (comprehensive household protection), and Greentouch (dual-effect treatment). All treatments are based on Geraniol, a plant-derived active substance that is non-neurotoxic to humans. The company also operates Greenhelp, a consumer-facing advisory service for pest control.
