Engineering the Future of Clean
In 2026 and beyond, TASKI stands not only as a leader in professional cleaning but as a benchmark for how innovation, digital intelligence and sustainability redefine hygiene on a global scale.
For 70 years, TASKI has shaped the environments where the world works, heals, travels, shops and lives. Its machines move across hospital corridors before sunrise, across airports after midnight, across factory floors without pause. Often unseen. Always essential. From healthcare and hospitality to transport, retail, education, logistics and industry, TASKI today delivers one of the most comprehensive professional cleaning portfolios in the world, engineered to serve every sector, every surface and every level of operational demand.
Across seven decades of sweeping technological change, TASKI has remained at the forefront of professional cleaning – not by chasing trends, but by engineering progress with discipline, purpose and precision. What began as mechanical reliability evolved into battery mobility, digital intelligence, automation, robotics and fully integrated hygiene systems. Each phase built on the last, expanding not only what TASKI cleans – but how intelligently, sustainably and efficiently it does so.
The journey of TASKI
70 years of leadership is not measured by how long a brand has existed – it is measured by how consistently it has solved real-world problems. TASKI’s legacy is not built on nostalgia. It is built on outcomes: safer hospitals, cleaner public spaces, more efficient operations, lower

environmental impact and long-lasting, durable machines that perform day after day under relentless pressure.
From the very beginning, TASKI positioned itself differently. It did not set out to be a product supplier. It set out to elevate cleaning into a professional discipline – one rooted in Swiss design, Swiss engineering and precision, not improvisation. The earliest TASKI machines introduced the idea that floorcare could be mechanised, measured and optimised. In the decades that followed, TASKI would repeatedly raise the bar: pioneering multi-functional single- disc machines in the 1960s, introducing scrubber dryers and carpet extraction technology in the 1970s, embedding electronics and microprocessors in the 1980s and transforming productivity through ride-on machines and battery power in the 1990s.
That same engineering ambition would later drive environmental intelligence, digital fleet management and, ultimately, autonomous robotic cleaning. Each decade brought a new leap forward – not for the sake of innovation alone, but to meet the growing complexity of real-world cleaning.
That mindset has never changed. Only the scale has.
When the company was formally established in 1955, its founder Alfred Sutter chose a name rooted in endurance, identity and future generations. The ‘T’ was inspired by Tenzing Norgay, the first man to ever climb Everest, and a long-term friend. ‘AS’ came from the founder’s own initials. ‘KI’ stood for ‘children’, meaning ‘descendants’ – a signal that this was never about short-term success, but about
