The first impression counts: Mats are the calling card of every building. For CWS, they are also an important part of the Group's range of solutions. Therefore, the company took over the mat business of Textilen Mietdienste Hiller on 1 August. In future, Hiller will enrich the mat business of the CWS Group with around 1,400 customers in Bavaria.
Business partners, customers and employees should feel welcome right from the start. Entrances are the calling card of every building. With its floorcare solutions, CWS ensures that this first impression succeeds. In addition, the hygiene specialist and system provider is continuously expanding its range. On 1 August, CWS took over the mat business from Textile Mietdienste Hiller. The owners give up the family business with around 1,400 customers in the greater Munich area due to their age.
With the acquisition, CWS seized a good opportunity: "There are few regional service providers who have specialised purely in the matting business. Dust control mats are usually offered in the mittelstand in combination with building or general cleaning services. The specialisation in the mat rental business of Textile Mietdienste Hiller provided us with a good opportunity to expand our hygiene business in the region," reports Florian Hünke von Podewils, Regional Managing Director Hygiene at CWS.
The takeover fits into the company's new orientation as a solutions provider. "Customer requirements and benefits are at the heart of our business. With integrated floorcare solutions, we ensure well-maintained entrance areas, reduce the risk of accidents and reduce the need for additional floor cleaning. This benefits customers, business partners and employees alike. With this acquisition, we are now successfully expanding our customer base in the Bavarian area," explains Frank Reisgies, General Manager Hygiene Core Business at CWS.
