Cannon Hygiene Canada Limited will immediately begin operating under its new name Citron Hygiene. Citron Hygiene, which replaces the former Cannon Services, has also recently acquired of leading food service hygiene provider, Sani Service.

The new name and rebrand were part of an acquisition agreement that occurred earlier this year when Cannon President and CEO Peter Farrell, in partnership with Birch Hill Equity Partners, fully acquired Cannon Hygiene Canada Limited and Cannon Hygiene International from its stakeholders.

“Naming your new company is a lot like naming your firstborn,” said Farrell. “It sounds a lot easier than it is. We were looking for a name that would continue to reflect our focus on hygiene, but do so in a healthier, fresher, cleaner and more environmental manner.”

The new company will continue to provide washroom hygiene, chemical solutions, pest control and life safety products for a growing number of commercial facilities, and help building owners and managers deliver hygiene and healthier spaces for their employees, customers and guests.

“Our dream is to turn Citron Hygiene into a leading global service provider of washroom hygiene, pest control, first aid, and chemical solutions,” said Farrell, “With a financial partner of Birch Hill’s pedigree on our side, we’re confident we can make that happen.”
