LONDON (ShareCast) - Ralph Kugler, the non-Executive Chairman of Byotrol, an anti-micorbial hygiene firm, has made a double purchase of shares in the same week the company made the announcement of a 'landmark agreement' with Kimberly-Clark Corporation.

56-year-old Kugler purchased 150,000 shares on Wednesday at 7.5p each for a total of £11,250 and a day later topped that up with another 250,000 shares for 7.625p a pop.

The total purchase, which took his stake in the company to 1.7m shares, cost him £30,300.

Earlier in the week Byotrol Consumer Products (BCP), which is 50% owned by Byotrol, agreed to enter into a full licensing agreement with Kimberly-Clark.

"This collaboration has been a significant step in developing Byotrol technology and we see this as a starting point to explore further potential," said Chief Executive Gary Millar.

"Byotrol technology offers a unique advantage in the highly competitive global hygiene market. We are confident that this distinguishing quality will make Byotrol a market leader."

The shares have risen 44.68% to 8.50p in the past week.
