SCA launches two innovative IT-based services for cleaner washrooms

  • Regulatory press release

SCA with its global hygiene brand Tork strengthens its position in the service industry by offering two new IT-based washroom services: Bloe® washroom service and Tork EasyCubeTM. The services provide real-time data from washrooms, such as toilet use and refill consumption.

Cleaning providers will have an instant overview of when and where cleaning is needed, moving from static cleaning schedules to cleaning when needed.

“SCA’s innovation activities are fuelled by an in-depth understanding of the everyday needs of our customers and consumers. Innovations such as Tork EasyCubeTM and Bloe® are important for our future success and competitiveness. This also further strengthens our customers’ and consumers loyalty and satisfaction”, says Jan Johansson, President and CEO at SCA.

SCA is a leading global hygiene and forest products company that develops and produces sustainable personal care products, tissue and forest products. Innovation and sustainability are deeply embedded in the company’s business model. Bloe® and Tork EasyCubeTMare efficient ways of delivering value for customers and consumers through open innovation with external parties or small acquisitions. They will complement SCA’s current portfolio and increase the company’s relevance as a global leading hygiene specialist.
