We help keep food production and other hygiene-sensitive environments cleaner and safer. At Vikan, we are passionate about cleaning tools. In how they are designed. The materials they are made from. The way they are manufactured, and the solutions they provide. Effective cleaning requires the right tools, and at Vikan we have the right tools to get the job done the first time, every time. Since our founding in 1898, we have worked closely with food and beverage plants and other hygiene-sensitive environments. This has enabled us to build the industry’s biggest bank of knowledge about hygiene and cleaning. Knowledge that helps our customers continuously improve their cleaning standards. Our company was founded on ingenuity. It’s our pioneering spirit that keeps us at the forefront of developing the cleaning tools and solutions people depend on every day. In everything we do, we help to make sure our customers – through cleaner and safer environments – can deliver the products and services they produce with pride and confidence. VIKAN SUSTAINABILITY POLICY We have always strived for long-term sustainability and to uphold responsible business ethics in our global operations. Corporate social responsibility has been a part of our philosophy for over a century and is deeply integrated in the way we act with business partners globally and through our innovation and sustainability work. The UN sustainability development goals (SDG) are our blueprint to help achieve a better and more sustainable business and future for all, and we contribute to the UN SDG goals no. 7, 9 and 12. We proactively contribute to global food safety and stay up to date on the market challenges and provide academic and practical expertise to our customers through our dedicated hygiene experts and specialists, hygiene site surveys, white papers and facilitating seminars.
