The company transforms sustainable solutions into businessenhancing results, based on increased productivity, reduced operating costs and increased customer profitability. Commenting on the latest innovations,
Nader A. Srouji, general manager of Raed S. Khoury & Partners Co., Diversey’s sole distributor in Jordan, says, “We have numerous innovations throughout the year. However, our latest product is the TASKI Aero high-efficiency vacuum cleaner, which consists of four streamlined and agile models that satisfy the most rigorous requirements of frequent professional cleaning at any time and in any environment.”While the distributor always has new offerings in the pipeline, one of its latest innovations is the Internet of Clean, a platform, which remotely monitors equipment, machines and operations through sensor-generated data, allowing complete insight into, dosing, compliance and machine performance. The IntelliDish, a smarter way of dishwashing, measures every drop of dishwashing efficiency.The IntelliTrail is a dashboard that shows what a facility’s machines are doing and how these could be put to better use. IntelliCare, is the
first hybrid touch-less dispenser that shifts from automatic to manual mode to deliver an un-interrupted, hand hygiene experience across a number of facilities.
Joseph Karam, general manager of the J. Medic. Group S.A.R.L., the exclusive distributor of Hydrachem in Lebanon, sheds light on the merits of the range available, saying, “We supply these products to almost all reputable restaurants, caterers and hotels throughout the country/region. The Foodsaf Salad Wash tablets are used to disinfect vegetables and nonpeelable fruit, as well as food preparation surfaces and equipment. These tablets are recognized and proven effective for removing escherichia (e.) coli, salmonella, listeria, monocytogenes, campylobacter and staphylococcus aureus. It is a highly convenient and safe food disinfectant than can also be used to clean floors, surfaces, tiles and cloths.” Karam acknowledges that this is a matter of huge importance, given the ever-increasing number of new diseases that continue to surface. To ensure that everything that can be done is being done, he notes, water, the planet’s most
consumed resource, needs to be as clean as possible. “Oasis Water Purification Tablets eliminate microorganisms to prevent dysentery, diarrhea, cholera and other water borne diseases such salmonella, typhoid, shigella sonnei, e. coli, vibro cholerae, streptococcus faecalis and schistosomiasis. This product makes water safe for drinking by killing bacteria, bacterial spores, cysts, algae, fungi, protozoa, various types of viruses and is especially lethal to E. histolytica,” Karam concludes.
“These are top-of-the-line machines that have been adopted by some of the biggest multinational chains operating throughout the Middle East’s hospitality as well as F&B sectors,” Srouji notes. “These include, Hilton Hotels & Resorts, Mövenpick Hotels & Resorts, the Americana Group, Carrefour, Nabil Foods, Nestle Waters and Al-Youm Food to name just a few.”
