Choosing Milliken signals the support of products that contribute to sustainability efforts; furthermore, it generates a positive first impression at the entranceway of public spaces. OBEX performs exceptionally well in the most demanding locations, such as airports and large shopping centres, receiving up to 95 million people per year.
