Hygiene company to shake up food and bev industry
European food and beverage hygiene company Calvatis is launching its Calgonit brand in Australia, and has ambitious plans to “shake up” the food and beverage industry.
Calvatis Australia General Manager Christopher Ratcliffe said that the company has been watching the food hygiene space in Australia and believes that there is a gap in the market for a new player dedicated to working with food and beverage companies to provide tailored hygiene solutions.
“We’ve set out an ambitious strategy to shake up the food hygiene industry through innovation and exceptional customer service. We aim to work with the food and beverage manufacturing industry to solve problems on a case-by-case basis; the one-size-fits-all cleaning mentality is long outdated and we aim to change this,” Ratcliffe said.

“We believe there is significant opportunity to leverage the full power of Calvatis’ technology portfolio, and redefine service in the Australian food and beverage hygiene industry.”
The company operates in more than 70 countries with services focused on adding value for mid-sized food and beverage manufacturers. Calvatis Australia plans to rollout its selection of detergents and sanitisers throughout Australia and expand its range of German-designed cleaning equipment.
