The management of WashTech remains in the experienced hands of the company founder Matthieu Fresco, a Frenchman who has lived in Mexico for a long time. A first pilot plant with an attached laboratory is currently being built at the Queretaro site. Here, customers can convince themselves of the plant performance through practical trials. "In the future, we want to build cleaning systems from Hemo and LPW in Mexico for the North American market," says Andreas Fritz, managing director of Hemo.
The integration of WashTech into the Surface Alliance is an important strategic step for expansion in North America, he adds. WashTech has also already entered into a partnership with the newly formed Cleanlab Solutions, which is setting up a contract cleaning operation locally using Surface Alliance equipment. This attractive complete program, which includes a well-equipped technical center, a wide range of high-performance equipment, flexible contract cleaning and suitable services, should meet with broad demand in Latin and North America.
