What CLENA Solutions GmbH does

CLENA Solutions GmbH is a German manufacturer of professional high- and low-pressure cleaning systems headquartered in Flensburg, Schleswig-Holstein. Founded in 1984, the company designs and builds mobile, stationary, and trailer-based pressure washers and cleaning plants covering cold and hot water applications across a pressure range from approximately 25 bar (low-pressure foam systems such as the MFI10) up to 3,000 bar in its Ultra-High Pressure (UHD) series, with sub-brands including WEEDEX (chemical-free hot-water weed control), HotBox/HotBox ST (mobile and stationary flow heaters), and a low-pressure foam cleaning station for the food industry. Its product architecture is modular, combining standard integrated components with configurable drive options (electric, petrol, diesel) to deliver tailored solutions for specific customer processes, media, and spatial constraints, including custom industrial cleaning plants engineered for production-line integration.

The company serves B2B customers across agriculture, industrial cleaning, construction, food processing, maritime, municipal services, oil extraction, specialty manufacturing (fiber, sugar, beverage bottling), and environmental/weed-control service providers. Its go-to-market is a hybrid direct-and-dealer model: direct manufacturer sales and service in Schleswig-Holstein and the greater Hamburg area, a qualified specialist dealer network across the rest of Germany, and direct export sales worldwide. Revenue is generated primarily through one-time sales of configured equipment (pressure washers, trailer systems, custom cleaning plants), supplemented by aftermarket spare parts, accessories, maintenance, and on-site repair services. Pricing is quote-based, with a minimum-order processing fee structure disclosed in the general terms and conditions. CLENA employs between 11 and 50 people, with all production performed in Germany, and is privately held under German GmbH law.
