Hygiene Alliance: Shaping the future together

Hygiene is not just an obligation but a promise to consumers. As your partner for hygiene, we are therefore already thinking ahead: By founding the Hygiene Alliance, we at PHT are taking a new, forward-looking approach together with Elpress. Instead of thinking in terms of competition, we are pooling our strengths and creating innovative solutions in the field of hygiene and technology. Both family-owned companies have set themselves the goal of providing the best possible support to businesses with hygiene-sensitive areas and will be appearing together for the first time at IFFA 2025.

The collaboration will create synergies that will offer enormous benefits for businesses through bundled expertise, pooled raw material purchasing and a complementary product portfolio. In this way, we are jointly advancing the product safety of our customers, for example through joint product developments and optimised service coordination.

Strong together for more product safety

Our shared vision gives rise to pioneering developments that will take hygiene and therefore product safety to a new level in the future. Our goal: to create innovative hygiene solutions through co-operation and ensure maximum product safety in the food industry. Together we are stronger – for more efficiency, safety and innovation in hygiene technology.

The resulting synergies are utilised for the benefit of our customers by giving them access to state-of-the-art hygiene solutions and enabling them to be supplied with suitable solutions worldwide.

We see the cooperation through the Hygiene Alliance as a great opportunity to serve existing customers in an even more targeted manner, to grow in emerging markets and to open up new markets and regions. From facility hygiene to personnel hygiene, Elpress and PHT offer the right solution for every business. Thanks to our combined experience and expertise, you as a customer receive the best possible result at an attractive price-performance ratio.

Your advantages with the cooperation

The Hygiene Alliance offers enormous advantages, especially for operations, as we utilise synergies and thus maximise our flexibility. Our combined experience and expertise give rise to new developments that unite innovative and tried-and-tested hygiene solutions.

By joining forces, we offer our customers a convincing portfolio of innovative products and comprehensive services. The optimised purchasing and production processes also enable an even more efficient use of resources and ensure an attractive price-performance ratio. Customers also benefit from optimised service coordination so that they can be supported even faster and more flexibly – both nationally and internationally.

Background to the Hygiene Alliance

Based on their shared vision, the two founding fathers of Hygiene Alliance are taking a decisive step towards a secure future. Both companies have already made their succession plans so that the next generation can actively shape the strategic direction. In future, PHT and Elpress will work together in the market as ‘partners at eye level’ for the benefit of customers and pool their strengths under the Hygiene Alliance.

‘For us, shaping the future is not a vision – we are living it. A future that preserves the principles of family-run companies for the benefit of our customers,’ summarises the former Managing Director of PHT Beckum, Heinz-Josef Mollemeier. ‘Our customers benefit enormously from this collaboration. They gain access to modern hygiene solutions and optimised concepts that we can now offer worldwide. This cooperation creates a new, strong structure with international advantages,’ emphasises Rudolf Tripold, new Managing Director of PHT Bad Tölz.
