International laundry and hygiene specialist, Christeyns UK, has completed the acquisition of Gannon Chemicals, based in Claremorris, County Mayo, Ireland.
Already a key player in the Irish marketplace, this acquisition provides a firm footing to further build Christeyns’ Irish business and forms part of the firm’s strategic plans to become market leader in their fields of operation.
Dave Aveyard, who takes up the position of Managing Director for Christeyns’ Operations in Ireland, commented: “We are delighted to conclude this strategically important acquisition of Gannon Chemicals. Christeyns already has a strong presence in Ireland with business in the Food and Beverage, Commercial Laundry, Hospitality and Construction sectors, and this acquisition will provide us with a manufacturing and warehouse base as well as increasing our share of the cleaning and hygiene market. Our goal is to become the dominant player within Ireland and this acquisition is a key step in achieving this ambition.”
Founded in 1972, Gannon Chemicals has a proud tradition of supplying hygiene products to businesses across a number of sectors, with an established reputation in the hospitality and food and beverage sectors.
A family-run business headed up by Paul Gannon, the firm is an expert producer of sustainable cleaning solutions and performance measurement systems using evidence-based approaches in its design and manufacture of cleaning chemicals.

GOJO wipes away tough soils with new wipes
GOJO Industries-Europe has introduced new Hand & Surface Scrubbing Wipes to its high-performing range of solutions for tough soils environments.
For use in a variety of trade workplaces, such as construction sites, garages, workshops, factories, or anywhere that heavy-duty cleaning is required, the multipurpose wipes are impregnated with a cleaning and degreasing solution that’s effective on heavy soils but gentle on skin. Designed for use on hands, arms, tools and objects, materials, and surfaces, they remove tar, paint, sealant, grease, and oil quickly and easily – without the need for water.
These extra-large and thick non-woven wipes are dual textured, with an abrasive side to remove heavy soils and a smooth side that leaves hands feeling soft. Dermatologically tested and enriched with Vitamin E, they won’t irritate skin and feature a pleasant citrus fragrance. They are available in two different sizes and quantities: an
80-count canister (200 x 270mm) and a 70-count bucket (300 x 250mm).
Chris Wakefield, V.P. European Marketing and Managing Director UK & Ireland at GOJO Industries-Europe, commented: “Skin on the hands commonly takes the brunt of damage from working in heavy or manual industries, so it’s crucial that people have access to high quality cleaners that are tough on dirt, but gentle on skin.
“Our specialist range does both, and we are pleased to add the new Hand & Surface Scrubbing Wipes to this portfolio. They offer the ultimate in convenience, removing heavy dirt and grime from both hands and various surfaces quickly and effectively.”
GOJO Hand & Surface Scrubbing Wipes complete the company’s heavy-duty cleaning range, which includes: GOJO NATURAL HAND CLEANER, GOJO OLIVE HAND CLEANER, and GOJO SUPROMAX HAND CLEANER.
