FILMOP CELEBRATES 50 YEARS OF SUCCESS
Filmop's history of excellence began in 1974, has resulted in more than 4000 products and has been awarded with prestigious company and product certifications. The achievements of half a century of hard work and a successful product range have made the company an undisputed leader, a trusted partner and the protagonist of an ever-evolving cleaning industry.
An Italian reality recognised worldwide
Filmop was one of the first Italian companies to manufacture cleaning products, starting with the historical Kentucky mops and then, over time, offering a complete range of professional items. It was also the first manufacturing company to believe in what are considered milestones in our days: the use of alternative materials to metal such as polypropylene, which is high-performance and totally recyclable, the separation of clean water from rinse water as a basic prerequisite for professional cleaning, and the development of ergonomic systems to improve operators' working conditions.
Today, Filmop is a widely recognised institution on the international cleaning scene and a point of reference for cleaning professionals. A French and later an American distribution branch was added to the 36,000 m2 plant, strengthening the company's presence in their respective markets. The company currently exports to over 80 countries worldwide, in many of which it is the main supplier.
At the forefront of sustainable development
Since its beginnings, Filmop has maintained a focus on sustainable development by implementing concrete measures. Its contribution in this direction has resulted in a series of concrete achievements, starting with the UNI EN ISO 14001 environmental certification of its environmental management system, which for years has kept the impact of the company's activities on the ecosystem under control.
Filmop is also the first Italian company in the cleaning equipment sector to have obtained Plastic Second Life certification, and has also achieved EU Ecolabel certification. Finally, it has a certified system for calculating the climate footprint of trolleys, which makes it possible to quantify the CO2e associated with each phase of their life cycle.
Its commitment to sustainable development was recognised by EcoVadis, which awarded Filmop the silver medal, placing it in the top 25% of companies rated in over 175 countries worldwide.
Products that have made history
Filmop's primary objective has always been to design and produce cleaning systems that meet the different needs of the market, sometimes even anticipating them.
Among the many innovations developed over the years, there is one in particular that has revolutionised the traditional trolley concept: the Alpha line stands out for its complete freedom of customisation, both in terms of configuration and graphics.
Filmop has also revolutionised the way in which mops are prepared using Equodose, the mechanical dispenser that soaks them on site, allowing the quantity of detergent solution to be adjusted for each one as required. Finally, the ongoing investment in the search for ever more innovative and high-performance yarns has led Filmop to distinguish itself from the very beginning with textile products of the highest quality.
A universal system destined to make history has recently been launched on the market: Uni-Connect instantly and safely connects all the equipment required for complete room cleaning.
