TASMANIAN HAND SANITISER

OUR STORY

Tasmanian Hand Sanitiser (Ethanol 80% Hand Sanitiser) originated as an idea between two Tasmanian Pharmacists in early 2020. Born and bred in the north of the state, Matthew Will and Martin Quinn wanted to manufacture a pharmaceutical grade product using local suppliers. To assist setting up a local distribution network the pair brought Tasmanian businessman Charles Beaumont on board. Together the three formed M2 Logistics, based in Launceston, which now co-ordinates manufacture and supply of Tasmanian Hand Sanitiser to the local and national market.

Since March 2020 the team have co-ordinated manufacture and distribution of over 90,000L of medical grade Hand Sanitiser. In addition to this M2 Logistics now provides a wide range of cleaning and sanitation products as well as Personal Protective Equipment. Our range continues to expand to service the needs of our Customers all over Australia.
