CWS and Smixin: Partnership bears fruit

As a hygiene expert, CWS – a brand of CWS-boco International Group which currently employs around 10,600 people in 16 countries - is constantly working to develop new ideas and products – including in collaboration with select partners. In the field of digital hand washing solutions, the system and hygiene service provider recently entered into a cooperation with the Swiss company Smixin. The two partners have set themselves the goal of combining their strengths in the development of comprehensive and sustainable solutions for optimal standards in hand hygiene.

A first result of the partnership is the launch of “CWS Smartwash”. “We are excited to enter this new phase in the partnership”, comments the Smixin team in a tweet. The key component of the new hygiene solution is a smart mixer tap. It dispenses a ready-made mixture of soap and water. On the one hand CWS Smartwash will raise the rate of visitors to the toilet using soap when washing their hands from today’s 30% to almost 100%. On the other hand, the mixing head within the tap also mixes in air alongside the water and soap at the beginning of the process. The air makes it possible to reduce the quantity of water a number of times over. The sensor-operated CWS SmartWash requires up to 90 per cent less water and up to 60 per cent less soap than standard taps. Excess soap next to the washbasin, a common issue beneath dispensers, is also a thing of the past.
