Pollet

What Pollet does

Pollet SA is a privately held Belgian family business, founded in 1763, that designs, manufactures, and commercializes professional cleaning products and solutions for B2B buyers across Europe. Headquartered at Rue de la Grande Couture 20, Zoning Industriel de Tournai Ouest, Belgium, Pollet operates in more than 17 countries — with disclosed presence in Belgium, the Netherlands, and France — and serves professional cleaning companies, facility management teams, hospitality and food service operators, medical facilities, educational institutions, food industry processors, and large food retail chains. The portfolio is structured around six sub-brands: AllerClean (anti-allergen probiotic cleaners), PolVita (protective probiotic cleaners), PolBio (enzymatic/biotechnological cleaners and odor-control), PolGreen (eco-labeled ecological cleaners), PolTech (professional-grade disinfectants, degreasers, floor care, and hand hygiene), and EchoClean (economical cleaning line), supported by the Caps pre-measured dosing system and Vikan cleaning equipment distribution.

Pollet's core technology is a probiotic and enzymatic cleaning biotechnology in which beneficial bacteria and enzymes are used to clean surfaces, degrade respiratory allergens, digest grease and biofilm, and neutralize odors through biological processes rather than harsh chemistry. This is differentiated from conventional chemical detergents by claims of continuous cleaning action after application, cold-temperature activity, reduced slip risk (PolBio Enzyfloor claims 30% slip reduction), 20% productivity gains from no-rinse operation, and ~90% water reduction. The product portfolio is supported by multiple third-party certifications — EU Ecolabel, Ecocert (Ecodétergent), Ecologo, Biobased, and Belgian biocide registrations (BE-REG TP1/TP2/TP4) — and 55% of products are formulated without hazard pictograms.

The business model is a direct B2B sales-led model. Pricing is not publicly disclosed; customers engage through website contact forms and the direct sales team, with products available in volumes from 1L to 1000L suggesting volume-based pricing. Revenue is generated through one-time product sales across cleaning chemicals, dosing systems, and accessories. Marketing relies on content (blog/newsletter), LinkedIn, YouTube, downloadable technical documentation, and industry events/training. The company is privately owned by the founding family with no disclosed external capital, no disclosed subsidiaries, no disclosed M&A activity, and no publicly disclosed revenue.
