ECJ EUROPEAN Cleaning Journal

SC Johnson in the US has announced it is returning to the industrial and institutional (I&I) cleaning business. It made the announcement during the recent ISSA/INTERCLEAN North America exhibition in Chicago.

"This is the right time to re-enter the I&I business," said Fisk Johnson, chairman and ceo of SC Johnson. "Our purchase of the Deb Group and STERIS Applied Infection Control, and the recent move to bring back our SC Johnson-branded products from Sealed Air/Diversey Care to the new SC Johnson Professional business gives us a lot of momentum to re-enter this space in a big way."

SC Johnson acquired the Deb Group in 2015 and STERIS Applied Infection Control in 2016. The company will be ending its existing brand license agreement with Sealed Air Corporation. Sealed Air will no longer be responsible for distributing SC Johnson branded products to the professional market. This agreement will expire in most countries on May 2 2017. In Australia, New Zealand, Argentina, Chile, Czech Republic and Poland, the agreement expires on January 1 2017.
