Start

For us it is all about satisfying our customers’ evolving needs and it’s been so since the start in 1981 when a local gas station Metax approached us with a request to optimize the cleaning processes and results at their car wash.

That’s how we’ve started our experiences with foam.

At the same time, the leading contractor ISS approached us with a request to optimize cleaning processes at food production premises, where they were cleaning with high pressure equipment and the spray cleaning methods.

Gaining speed

Combining the strengths of the findings from these two customer requests gave foundations to “Scanio” and later “Scanio Flow” – the pioneer in foam cleaning technology and low-pressure foam cleaning for the food industry.
