Our Why, How and What

We are a team of practical people with innovative ideas. But, equally, we are a team of innovative people with practical ideas. Our quest is  to use our long experience in the field of textile cleaning to connect technologies in exciting ways to give you savings and sustainability in your business. 

Why?

In the late 1980s we suspected that recycling water could become of interest to textile care companies. With decades of experience in the dry cleaning market under our belt, we knew how important process knowledge and streamlined production technology are. This became our goal: to imagine and create clever ways to recycle water in textile care. Water was quickly joined by ‘energy’, as the interlinking between the two in texcare became apparent. We aim to take a practical and holistic view, our products complementing the equipment you already have, focussed on helping you get the absolute maximum out of your water and energy inputs. All within the particular constraints of your business.

How?

Beginning with a sharp look at your processes, our team helps pinpoint where savings can be made for you and which products can achieve the best results. We develop the concept, do the product development, manufacture the products and also provide service support.  All products in the Wientjens water and energy range are designed to be modular and to connect into existing washing systems. Nothing needs to be replaced to allow you start recycling.

In the area of water and energy recycling, we also work in close co-operation with Ecolab, leading global supplier of textile care products. Our specific engineering expertise combined with Ecolab’s chemical know-how and worldwide presence has led to breakthrough developments in water and energy recycling for our shared customers in textile care. Depending on your area of interest and your country, we may refer your enquiries through to your local Ecolab sales team team and you can rest assured that each question or project receives undivided attention from both our Ecolab counterparts and from ourselves.

What?

Since the early 1990s, we have helped make water and energy recyling products the norm in commercial laundries, from OPLs using  small machines to industrial laundries with multiple tunnel washers. Nowadays our installed equipment base gives savings equal to the water and energy usage of a city of 250.000 inhabitants.  Every day anew!

We care about our impact, on our customers, on our suppliers, our colleagues, our environment. Grounded, reliable, solution driven and perfectionist, that is who we are.
