phs Group has bolstered its floorcare business with the acquisition of the floorcare and associated hygiene services division of workwear and industrial wiper rental services firm Lindström UK.
The floorcare business of Lindström has traditionally provided spill and absorbent mats for industrial and commercial organisations. phs took on all of Lindström’s floorcare customers on 21 September.
David Taylor Smith, CEO of phs Group, said: “We are delighted to welcome Lindström’s floorcare customers to join us at phs. We can assure these customers of a smooth transition and a commitment to a first-class, nationwide service alongside a wide range of quality products. We look forward to our new customers becoming part of the phs family and servicing their needs now and in the future.”
Lindström has been operating in the UK since 2001, with 150 employees at sites including Bedford, Manchester, and Bradford, serving over 4000 customers.
Peter Jones, Managing Director of Lindström UK, added: “The sale of our floorcare business will enable Lindström UK to focus on our market-leading industrial wiper and workwear rental services. This includes investing over £11m to build a brand-new laundry in Bradford to create a truly sustainable solution for industrial wipers.”
