Fripoo Products

What Fripoo Products does

LAEMMLE Produkte AG, doing business as FRIPOO, is a privately held Swiss manufacturer of liquid cleaning, care, and disinfectant products headquartered in Grüningen (Canton Zürich), Switzerland, founded in 1969. The company operates four branded product lines: Polyston (vehicle cleaning and care, including screen wash for summer and winter, engine cleaners, coolants, car shampoos, and helmet cleaners); Fiesta (household cleaners, kitchen and bathroom products, glass cleaners, and disinfectants); allerno (allergen-free, 100% biodegradable cleaning products formulated for allergy-prone consumers); and Glysantin (BASF-manufactured OAT, Si-OAT, and PSi-OAT coolant/antifreeze products distributed in Switzerland). Polyston Pro variants serve professional automotive workshops in 25L to 200L industrial volumes.

The underlying technology is rooted in specialty chemistry — hybrid coolant inhibitors (OAT, Si-OAT, Si-48), dermatologically tested allergen-free formulations, and an ethanol-based disinfectant with 76.1g/100g ethanol concentration approved by BAG (Swiss Federal Office of Public Health). Fripoo also markets Glysantin G64 ECO BMB 100, claimed to deliver over 75% CO2 reduction through renewable raw materials.

Commercially, Fripoo operates a direct-to-consumer e-commerce storefront (fripoo.ch) with consumer pack sizes from 125ml to 5L and industrial volumes up to 200L priced in CHF, alongside distribution through Swiss retail chains Jumbo and Obi/OBI. Orders under CHF 30 carry a CHF 10 minimum quantity surcharge, and shipping is restricted to Switzerland and Liechtenstein. B2B automotive trade customers access industrial pricing via a quote request form. The company has no subsidiaries, no disclosed funding rounds, no institutional investors, and no international expansion beyond the Swiss/Liechtenstein market.

Direct peers

• Liqui Moly: German manufacturer of automotive chemicals including coolants, additives, and care products. Highly comparable on coolant technology and B2B automotive trade distribution, though broader in additives and motor oils.
• Werner & Mertz: German sustainable cleaning manufacturer (Frosch, Ecover brands). Comparable to Fripoo's eco (polyston oeco) and allerno ranges on biodegradable, dermatologically tested household cleaning positioning in the DACH market.
• Sonax: German manufacturer of automotive cleaning and care products (screen wash, polishes, interior cleaners). Closely comparable to Polyston range, both serving automotive workshops and consumers with branded vehicle care chemistry.
• Dr. Wack (A1): German automotive care products specialist (A1 brand) covering screen wash, engine cleaners, and polishes. Directly comparable in product mix, German-speaking market focus, and automotive trade channel orientation.

Broad incumbents

• SC Johnson: Global household cleaning products manufacturer competing across multiple categories. Comparable on broad household cleaning and disinfectant portfolio though serving global markets with much larger scale.
• Reckitt Benckiser: Global household cleaning and hygiene leader (Dettol, Cillit Bang). Direct overlap with Fiesta disinfectant and household cleaners, especially relevant given shared disinfectant regulatory expertise.
• Henkel: Global FMCG giant with major laundry/home care and adhesive portfolios. Competes broadly in the same CPG cleaning products category but at vastly larger scale and across many more geographies than Fripoo.
• Turtle Wax: Established global automotive care brand with screen wash, polishes, and detailing products. Comparable on automotive cleaning chemistry, though with a global brand footprint versus Fripoo's regional focus.

Others

• BASF (Glysantin): German chemical major that supplies the Glysantin coolant line distributed by Fripoo. Relevant as upstream partner/supplier and direct competitor in the coolant technology space.

Regional players

• Mibelle Group: Swiss CPG manufacturer (Mibelle AG) producing household, personal care, and specialty cleaning products. Comparable as a fellow Swiss specialty CPG manufacturer serving private-label and branded customers.
