About this event
Meet the creators behind homegrown brand Zappy and the pioneers of the nostalgic "popping" wet tissue as Freshening open its doors to the public for the very first time!
Freshening traces its humble beginnings to 1994, when it started as a little shop lot in Eunos. In this tour, learn how this homegrown family business transformed their humble wet tissues into one of Singapore's most recognisable brands, used by over 5,000 food service, healthcare, airline and hospitality establishments worldwide.
