Swisher Hygiene Expansion Continues

Hygiene Provider Expands Corporate Territories in Multiple Markets  

 

Charlotte, NC – Swisher Hygiene, leading provider of commercial cleaning and sanitizing products and services, announced that it has acquired previously  independent Swisher franchises serving Arkansas, Connecticut, Michigan, New Hampshire, New Jersey, Massachusetts, New Mexico, New York, Ohio, Oregon, Pennsylvania and Rhode Island.  These facilities will be merged into the company’s national network of corporately owned operations, bringing nearly 90% of all Swisher locations under direct corporate control. 

 

Swisher has been rapidly consolidating its ownership and oversight of locations across North America, giving the company the ability to more closely coordinate program expansion. The 26-year-old company has experienced a period of significant growth in its chemical business over the past two years following its introduction of a full line of hygiene solutions including foodservice products, cleaners, sanitizers, warewashing formulations, dish machines, detergents, floor care treatments and more. 

 

These products have driven the company’s growth not only on the local level, but at the regional and national account level, as well.  Swisher offers a comprehensive product program that generates significant savings for franchises and chain businesses with locations in virtually all North American markets.  These benefits have prompted increasing numbers of them make Swisher their partner of choice. 

 

 “Customers in every market we operate tell us that they’re enthusiastic about our ability to offer an alternative to traditional product suppliers,” said Steve Berrard, Chairman and CEO of Swisher Hygiene.  “These franchise acquisitions allow us to do just that.  By taking direct ownership of key locations, we’re in a better position to implement system-wide enhancements that address customer demands, and since all of the locations we’ve purchased have been very well run, quality personnel are already in place to make the transition seamless. 

 

In fact, Swisher expects customers to experience a fully transparent change-over, with the only perceptible difference being the ongoing introduction of new products and services.  There will be no disruption in service or product delivery schedules.
