What Professional support s.r.o. does

Professional Support s.r.o. is a Brno-based B2B distributor and service provider of professional cleaning, dishwashing, laundry, and hygiene solutions, founded in 2006 as a spin-off of Procter & Gamble's former technical and service support team. The company operates as the official direct distribution partner of P&G Professional in the Czech Republic and Slovakia, distributing Ariel, Jar, Lenor, Mr. Proper, and Ambi Pur professional product lines alongside its own Professional Support System (a modular additive range: A, B, C, D, N, S, R, STAIN), the eco-positioned Green Line (Green Basis, Green Boost, Green Control, Green Oxy under Burnus branding), and third-party hygiene brands (Manox, Dezox, Sinnis, Arco). It also distributes and services automated dosing equipment from SEKO, Brightwell, and others, and sells bundled technical-consulting services including energy consumption optimization (heat-recovery systems, water recycling) and sanitation planning.

The company serves five vertical segments — commercial laundries (its origin and primary segment), restaurants and commercial kitchens, general professional cleaning, healthcare and social care, and hotels and hospitality — with documented customer outcomes including 40% water savings, 48–80% steam reduction in case studies, and sub-2-year ROI on energy projects. Its go-to-market is a sales-led direct field model supported by dedicated sales representatives and a B2B-only proprietary e-commerce platform restricted to registered customers with framework purchase agreements; it does not sell to end consumers. Distribution is hybrid: direct field sales plus the e-shop, with delivery direct to customer facilities accompanied by technical service.

R&D activity is conducted through consortium partnerships with ASIO TECH, spol. s r.o., supported by Czech public funding: the WEGEN water-recycling + heat-recovery integration project under the Ministry of Industry and Trade Aplikace program (2021–2023), and the HOTAIR waste-air heat-recovery project under the Technology Agency of the Czech Republic (TAČR) Théta program (2024–2027, project TS01020116). The company operates with approximately 11 employees from its headquarters in Brno-Kohoutovice, holds memberships in the Association of Laundries and Cleaners of the Czech Republic and the Association of Social Services Providers, and is GDPR-compliant. No revenue, external funding, or headcount growth data is disclosed.

Broad incumbents
