What Jangro does

Jangro is a UK-headquartered B2B distributor of professional cleaning, hygiene, catering, and janitorial supplies, operating since 1980 through a network of more than 40 distribution sites across the United Kingdom and a regional entity, Jangro (Europe) Ltd, based in Dublin, Ireland. The company serves commercial cleaning businesses, catering and hospitality operators, and healthcare and clinical facilities with a catalogue of over 15,000 products organised into nine categories: catering supplies and equipment, cleaning chemicals, cleaning equipment, cleaning and janitorial equipment, healthcare and medical supplies, paper products, sustainable products (Enviro range), and workwear and PPE. The owned portfolio spans the Jangro Professional line and the ntrl range of probiotic-based cleaners, refill pouches, and odour neutralisers.

The company's go-to-market combines a postcode-mapped network of local distributors — accessed via a finder tool on the Jangro website — with a Self-Serve Portal that supports account management, product browsing, and direct ordering. Pricing is quote-based and contingent on trade account application; the catalogue is not publicly priced. Value-added services bundling the catalogue with adjacent content include the Jangro Learning Management System (LMS), a Bespoke Wall Chart Creator that pairs company-branded product charts with health and safety compliance documentation, and an "AI by Jangro" resource within the broader content library. Multi-language safety data sheets (Spanish, French, Polish) point to distributor customers with multilingual workforces.

Jangro is a privately held UK limited company with no evidence in the input of external investment, private equity ownership, or a parent entity; the ownership structure is not publicly disclosed. Revenue is generated through B2B product sales across the catalogue, with payment processing handled by Stripe and Barclays on the e-commerce platform and digital marketing activity supported by an engagement with Prospect Global Ltd (Sopro). No disclosed revenue figure, funding round, acquisition, or executive change is present in the available data.
