Hygee

What Hygee does

Hygee is a Czech B2B e-commerce distributor of professional cleaning, hygiene, and sanitation products, operated by the privately held limited company Anglo česká s.r.o. from its headquarters in Jindřichův Hradec. Founded in 1992, the business serves commercial and industrial customers across the Czech Republic and Slovakia, with reported delivery coverage throughout both markets. The customer base is segmented across five verticals: professional cleaning services, hotels and hospitality, healthcare facilities, food service and gastro, and industrial/manufacturing customers.

The product offering is organised into nine-plus categories spanning paper hygiene (toilet paper, towels, wipes), dispensers and dosing systems, cleaning tools and equipment, chemical and ecological cleaning preparations, hygiene consumables (soaps, hand disinfectants, fragrances), protective equipment, waste management, hotel cosmetics, and gastro tableware. Hygee controls an own-brand portfolio — HYGEE, HYGEE EKO (ecological line with biodegradable and enzymatic preparations), TEXAN (non-woven wipes), and HYTEX (industrial cloths) — alongside distributed premium brands including Tork (Essity), Botanica, Simple a Pure, and Vittore De Conti. A proprietary Směšovací stanice Hygee mixing station allows controlled dilution of cleaning concentrates for commercial dosing.

The business model is sales-led direct B2B e-commerce with telephone sales assistance for partners. Revenue is generated through one-off sales of physical goods (catalogue and online ordering), priced per unit or carton with bulk pricing displayed, and free delivery offered on orders above 1,500 CZK excluding VAT. Pricing is published in CZK with and without VAT, with EUR display available. The go-to-market combines an own e-commerce storefront, inside-sales phone support, and an email newsletter for promotions, with no third-party marketplace or channel-partner go-to-market indicated. There is no evidence of venture, private-equity, or institutional ownership; the company appears to be owner-managed under Czech corporate law.
