The Swish Group of Companies, a diversified manufacturing, distribution, and technology company, has agreed to sell its USA distribution division – Swish White River Ltd. – to Envoy Solutions, a well-positioned distribution company in Glenview, Ill.
The group said in a release it is grateful to its Swish White River Ltd. associates who, over the last 20 years, have been instrumental in establishing the company as the leading distributor of jansan, paper, and packaging products in the Northeastern U.S.
“With this change, the Swish Group of Companies’ focus is to continue accelerating as industry leaders,” said Anthony Ambler, Chair. “We believe there are great opportunities in the market that fit our existing and future business, and we are looking forward to growing.”
Swish Maintenance Limited (Canadian Division), Charlotte Products Ltd. (North American manufacturing), and OptiSolve (precision cleaning technology) are not part of the transaction.
The Canadian division will continue to expand its distribution across Canada through organic growth and strategic acquisitions.
As part of the transaction, Charlotte Products Ltd. will continue to manufacture and supply its best-in-class cleaning chemistry brands Swish, Enviro-Solutions, and ServClean for Envoy/Swish White River.
“Charlotte has best-in-class R&D, manufacturing, and a great portfolio of brands,” said Matt Strano, CEO of Charlotte Products Limited. “We’re really excited to expand our relationship with Envoy Solutions.”
OptiSolve will promote “precision cleaning” through its quality management software and proprietary surface imaging and reporting technology allowing management to track cleaning trends in their facilities by areas, surfaces, and employees.
