Laundry and hygiene specialist, Christeyns UK, has completed the acquisition of Gannon Chemicals based in Ireland. Dave Aveyard – the company’s managing director for Ireland stated that although the firm already has a strong presence in the food and beverage, commercial laundry, hospitality and construction sectors in the country, this acquisition will provide a manufacturing and warehouse base as well as an increasing share of the cleaning and hygiene market.
Gannon Chemicals was founded in 1972 and has a tradition of supplying hygiene products to businesses across a number of sectors with an established reputation in the hospitality and food and beverage sectors. A family run business headed up by Paul Gannon, the firm is an expert producer of sustainable cleaning solutions and performance measurement systems using evidence-based approaches in its design and manufacture of cleaning chemicals.
With sustainability as a key element of operating practices – both in its chemical manufacturing and its water and energy saving technology – Gannon Chemicals is considered to be a natural fit in the portfolio of sister companies under the Christeyns UK roof.
