Wisdom
Stupid people always make the same mistakes, intelligent people learn from their own mistakes; wise people observe others and learn from them. Global player, Metsä Tissue has made this pearl of wisdom their own and analysed the market in full including competitors and users.
Europe-wide the standard of cleanliness of toilets is most severely criticised where there are hygiene and health implications. This is caused by a lack of expert knowledge on the part of the decision makers, with regard to actual facts and their ensuing effects in terms of using suitable dispensers and apparatus and above all from using poor quality paper which ‘produces’ poor cleanliness. The corollary to this negativity is that the service provider has, in most cases, users who turn up their noses (customers, own staff) and a high infection risk and high service costs (cleaning & maintenance).
‘These deficits in the washrooms of health service, industry, in office buildings, or gastronomy, could all be a thing of the past’, says Frank Ledosquet, Metsä Tissue’s Marketing Manager for Central Europe, happily. ‘We are proud that our paper quality is good, but we needed to upgrade our dispensers and toilet accessories. With our new Katrin dispenser series, toilets can from now on be fitted out accordingly with the correct dispensers for each type of application and with the right paper quality all harmoniously matched’.
The user-specific diverse range includes different dispensers for paper towels, toilet paper, soap (in a completely closed system), hand wash foam, air fresheners, (for the first time with 100% anti-allergic contents), as well as a new type of disinfectant foam in a dispenser for toilet seats.
It is important to note that many functions can be operated without direct contact, which maximises the standard of hygiene and minimises risk of infection. Furthermore, this new dispenser generation is the perfect combination of the appropriate dispenser and paper quality for the individual situation and is a guarantee of the highest economic viability.
The results have shown that a 50% reduction can be seen, not only in usage, but also in storage and wastage. Likewise, the refilling time can be reduced by from 30% up to potentially 75%.
