by Brianna Crandall — February 6, 2013—Industrial and institutional hygiene product manufacturers ITW Dymon and Atlantic Mills announced in January that they have combined product portfolios and will operate under the new name of ITW Professional Brands.
The newly formed ITW Professional Brands business structure comprises five brands that are already well known to many facilities managers and maintenance and custodial professionals: SCRUBS pre-moistened wipes, Spray Nine disinfectants and degreasers, DYKEM industrial marking products, Dymon specialty cleaning products, and Atlantic Mills disposable food service wipers.
The products are focused on industrial and institutional hygiene markets, with key distribution channels in industrial MRO (maintenance, repair and operations), jan/san (janitorial and sanitation) and food service industries. The scaled-up business structure will bring a greater offering of relevant products to focused industries for more effective product marketing and distribution, according to ITW Professional Brands Vice President and General Manager Paul Taylor.
“The new business structure allows us to group our resources and focus them on important growth initiatives and the pursuit of operational excellence,” Taylor said. “We will spend more time with end users to understand customer applications and their operational challenges. We will work to solve our customers’ problems, which is at the core of innovation and new product development.”
Taylor said that offering these top-performing products in a combined brand portfolio under ITW Professional Brands reflects ITW’s interest in growing its position in the industrial and institutional hygiene markets, both domestically and internationally, and will drive efficiencies for ITW’s distributors and eventually result in increased sales and satisfied customers.
