Hygienik Systems Limited

What Hygienik Systems Limited does

Hygienik Systems Limited, founded in 2004 and headquartered in Bradford, United Kingdom, designs, manufactures, supplies, and installs hygienic PVC cladding systems for walls, ceilings, and partitions. The company serves end customers and main contractors across food service, healthcare, manufacturing, retail, education, and leisure, with named deployments at McDonald's (350+ restaurants across the UK, Sweden, and Finland), Coca-Cola, Asda, Britvic, Gate Gourmet, Cytec, and NHS hospitals including Lewisham, Royal Hallamshire, and Trafford General. Hygienik has been a subsidiary of the Palram Group since 2023.

The core product range comprises K-Panel (2.5mm) and H-Panel (10mm) PVC cladding sheets, C-Plank ceiling planks, FR30 and FR60 fire-rated partition systems, tile-effect cladding, WundaTile interlocking panels, and ImageClad custom-printed graphics. Differentiated antimicrobial lines AM-Clad and AM-Guard incorporate silver-ion technology backed by 20-year product guarantees, targeting healthcare and food-processing environments. Sister brands Cladding Warehouse and Hoarding Warehouse extend a materials-only distribution channel, and the integrated Dekko Graphics business supports branded and decorative wall finishes.

Revenue is generated through project-based supply-and-installation contracts (typically sourced via Tier-1 main contractors such as Bam Nuttall, Kier, Laing O'Rourke, Mace, Vinci, Willmott Dixon, and Bowmer & Kirkland) and through direct materials sales via Cladding Warehouse. Pricing is quote-based and not publicly disclosed; revenue is therefore lumpy and tied to the construction and refurbishment cycles of a concentrated set of blue-chip end customers.
