FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

The Pabst Theater Group’s Milwaukee Venues Install the Synexis BioDefense System

MILWAUKEE, WI – July 21, 2022 – The Pabst Theater Group, along with Synexis LLC and Capitol International Group, announce their latest effort to elevate artist experience and help keep artists safe while on tour with the installation of the Synexis System. The system consists of devices that produce Dry Hydrogen Peroxide (DHP^® ), which fights viruses, bacteria, mold and odors in the air and on surfaces. Devices have been installed on stage and in backstage areas like dressing rooms and dining rooms at the Riverside Theater, Pabst Theater and Turner Hall Ballroom, with plans for installation at the Miller High Life Theatre.

“The pandemic has presented touring artists with an entirely new set of risks to consider when traveling from venue to venue and playing in front of a new crowd every night. If just one member of the crew gets sick or tests positive for COVID, it has the potential to derail a tour indefinitely,” said Gary Witt, President & CEO of the Pabst Theater Group. “Installing Synexis System on our stages and in venue areas that house touring artists is another step that sets us, and the backstage artist experience we provide, apart from the rest. By utilizing DHP, the same product that is being used by some professional sports teams in their clubhouse and training areas and weight rooms, gyms and locker rooms, we have invested in delivering a cleaner and safer environment for artists, tour managers and all on-site staff.”

Synexis Systems continuously disburse DHP and have demonstrated effectiveness in reducing viruses and bacteria in the air including: 99.9% in SARS-CoV-2 Delta variant1, 98.7% in SARS-CoV-22, 99.8% in Influenza Type A3 and 99.8% in E. coli.4

“We customized a plan incorporating DHP, to meet the unique needs of the Pabst Theater Group and its varied environments across venues,” said Eric Schlote, Synexis Chief Executive Officer. “The Synexis System supplies continuous protection from contaminants without disturbing artists or crew. Once installed it is always working.”

Trusted in the healthcare, hospitality and education industries, Synexis has introduced its BioDefense System as an effective mitigation option within a number of professional sports organizations and the live entertainment industry, creating a safer environment for artists, athletes and public figures whether in the locker rooms, traveling on tour buses or performing at an event.

“Our goal since we began offering the Synexis System to the entertainment industry was to reduce pathogen risk for traveling performers and provide venues with the best technology,” said Lance Cardoza, Executive Vice President of Capitol International Group. “We’re so impressed by the Synexis System and the power of DHP as an effective way to improve indoor environmental quality.”
