The core offering spans sinks, taps and washroom equipment (utility sinks, drinking fountains, wash troughs, scrub sinks, commercial taps and pre-rinse units); cleaning and hygiene solutions (boot washers, hand dryers, hygiene stations, sanitising door handles, Delfin vacuum cleaners, knife sterilisers); waste management (waste bag holders, drainage systems, urinals and WCs); stainless steel tables and lecterns; production and processing accessories (buckets, tools, gastronorm containers, jugs, funnels, sieves); laboratory equipment (autoclaves, balances and scales from Adam Equipment, ovens, incubators, biosafety cabinets, laminar flow cabinets, mixers and shakers, refrigerators/freezers); storage and handling equipment (trolleys, tote bins, dip tanks, shelving, cupboards, lockers, garment storage); seating (hygienic chairs and stools, stainless steel seating benches); dispensers (soap dispensers, PPE dispensers, paper towel dispensers); and spare parts. The portfolio includes the Hygienox sub-brand for ultra-sterile pharmaceutical and cleanroom environments featuring electropolished 316L/304L stainless steel with sub-0.3RA finish, and a range of stainless steel metal detectable stationery. The company also offers online pest control training courses through a partnership with Veritas Pest Consultancy.
