What diversey.sk does

Solenis, operating online as diversey.sk and previously known as Diversey, is a privately held global provider of specialty chemicals and digital solutions for water-intensive industrial operations. The company was founded in 2014 and is headquartered in Wilmington, Delaware, USA, with 10,000+ employees serving customers across the United States, Europe, and Asia Pacific. Its portfolio spans water treatment chemistries (boiler, cooling, process, wastewater, reverse osmosis, potable), industrial processing additives (corrosion inhibitors, antiscalants, defoamers, microbiocides, lubricants), pulp and paper specialties (strength additives, retention aids, barrier coatings, sizing agents), commercial cleaning and infection-prevention products (including the TASKI equipment line and LESSEAU solid hand wash system), life-sciences hygiene under the ClearKlens brand, and a digital platform layer comprising OPTIX Applied Intelligence, HexEval, OnGuard 2-plus, SMARTLink, Solenis Cloud, and SolenisNow.

The underlying technology combines proprietary chemical formulations with connected instrumentation and analytics. Analyzers and controllers feed real-time process telemetry into cloud-hosted platforms, where predictive analytics and anomaly detection drive automated dosing and maintenance recommendations. Customer outcomes documented in case studies include 75% reductions in copper corrosion, 66% reductions in carbon steel pitting, 30% extended heat-exchanger life, $1M+ annual savings in paper mills, and $2M annual profitability gains in mining operations. Solenis holds EcoVadis Platinum status (top 1% globally) and has been a Deloitte US Best Managed Company for six consecutive years.

The business model rests on four revenue streams: (1) proprietary specialty chemical product sales across multiple verticals; (2) digital solutions sold on a recurring/subscription basis through software, sensors, and cloud platforms; (3) equipment and engineering hardware sales (cleaning machines, dispensing systems, ionization equipment); and (4) technical support, consulting, and training services (Diversey Institute, Diversey Consulting). The go-to-market is direct enterprise field sales with on-site experts, supplemented by the SolenisNow self-service digital channel and localized regional catalogs. In 2024, Solenis merged with NCH, materially expanding its industrial maintenance, lubrication, and global distribution footprint. The company is currently expanding Asia Pacific capacity via a $35 million, 60,000-tonne production facility under construction in Beihai, Guangxi, China.
