GOJO manufacturer of Hand Hygiene and Cleaning solutions announced that it is to close its UK head quarters , A statement from the company revealed ,GOJO Europe business has struggled financially for over a decade, requiring significant, ongoing support from the US throughout that time. As a result, a strategic review of GOJO Europe was initiated using outside experts to find a sustainable, long-term solution.
Many options to turn around the business or to sell it were explored, but regrettably, no viable option could be found.
Winding down our European operations was only done after making very extensive efforts to achieve financial viability in the region.
Understandably, this news appears abrupt, particularly without the context of more than a decade’s worth of effort and investment in
pursuing a sustainable outcome for all involved. We recognize and deeply regret the impact these events have had on team members in
Europe and remain grateful for their contributions throughout the years.
For European business customers, part of the wind down process includes continuing to produce product in France in the immediate
term, and making existing inventory available. GOJO Industries is also exploring other ways to minimize disruption.”
“GOJO Industries’ overall business is healthy and growing. Demand continues to strengthen, and there is tremendous energy and
momentum around our market-leading skincare and surface cleaning solutions. At the same time, we must take action to address an
enduring business challenge.
