German cleaning equipment and accessories manufacturer Vermop Salmon has just acquired cleaning machines producer Hefter Cleantech - also based in Germany.

Hefter Cleantech had been declared insolvent at the end of last year and the acquisition by Vermop Salmon was completed at the beginning of March. As part of a successful restructuring programme, all sites will remain open and all jobs have been secured. The company will continue to be led by managing director Thomas Stangl.

"The acquisition of Hefter Cleantech strengthens Vermop's 'Power' product segment and represents a further milestone on the journey to becoming a one-stop provider of cleaning systems. Hefter has exceptional expertise in the field of cleaning machines and is therefore the perfect complement to our product portfolio," said Dirk Salmon, owner and ceo of Vermop Salmon.
