Sales: $2.0 billion for I&I products. Corporate sales: $7.0 billion.
Key Personnel: Jerome Peribere, president and chief executive officer; Dr. Ilham Kadri, president, Diversey Care; Carol Lowe, senior vice president and chief financial officer; Robert Tatterson, vice president, R&D and chief technology officer; Emile Chammas, senior vice president and chief supply chain officer.
Major Products: Cleaning and hygiene solutions and services, sold under the Diversey and Taski names, that are used in commercial, institutional and industrial facilities.
New Products: Sure 100% biodegradable cleaning products, Pro Series cleaning solutions, Taski IntelliTrail monitoring system, IntelliConsult food safety management platform, Diversey Express.
Comments: I&I sales fell 8% last year, but corporate sales were worse, falling 9.3%. I&I results were better in Q1 2016, as iversey Care’s sales were up 1.7% with gains in all regions, but corporate sales fell 8.9% to $1.6 billion.
Diversey leadership hopes to maintain that momentum by focusing on technology. Last year Sealed Air acquired a portion of Intellibot Robotics LLC, a privately-held company that manufactures commercial floor cleaning robots. At the time of the acquisition, Dr. Ilham Kadri, president, Diversey Care, noted that the move positions Diversey Care as the first hygiene and cleaning player to enter the industrial robotics arena.
“Our industry expertise, global reach, design and manufacturing capabilities combined with Intellibot’s groundbreaking artificial intelligence technology will help accelerate the development of the robotic floor cleaning machines market—ultimately driving efficiencies and business value for our industry,” Kadri insisted.
Kadri and company are counting on the Internet of Things (IofT) to lead to an Internet of Clean (IoC), where robotics and technology converge with cleaning solutions to make hygienic systems more effective and easier to use. Speaking at ISSA/Interclean Amsterdam, Kadri explained IoC’s role is to connect machines, beacons, and other smart devices to aid operational performance, food safety, infection prevention, and customer satisfaction. Imagine having critical data accessible 24/7 without needing to be onsite.
“With our Internet of Clean solutions, you can access information about machine location, dispensing levels, ware washing results and more,” explained Kadri.
Diversey Care’s Suma Revoflow, a closed, compact off-the-floor dishwashing system won the Amsterdam Innovation Award. Last month, the company introduced the Diversey Express range of single-use packets of concentrated cleaning solutions, containing exact doses to ensure the right amount is used each time. This approach limits both water and chemical consumption, leading to cost reductions of up to 30%. Diversey Express is aimed at smaller food service facilities.
