All of our products are tailored to the individual needs of our commercial customers such as building service providers, specialist wholesalers, corporate customers and resellers. We continuously develop our solutions in line with customer requirements.

Alongside the manufacture of our own products, we also operate in the private label business and perform individual manufacturing steps or the complete manufacturing process on behalf of our customers. For example, in contract filling we fill your cleaning products in the desired container, pack them and stage them for collection. In job order production,we also take over the entire production process – from product development in our in-house laboratory, through manufacture, all the way to filling, packaging and consigning the goods.

We regard it as our task to develop clean solutions for commercial cleaning services. We therefore work continuously on optimising our product portfolio in our in-house laboratory, taking account of ecological aspects. Over and above this, take account of the individual requirements of our customers when enhancing our products. At Planol, this does not take place behind closed doors – quite the opposite: We work closely with renowned research facilities. We actively involve our co-operation partners such as universities, manufacturers from the industry or service providers from the field of facility management in the enhancement of our products.
