A Yeovil-based cleaning company has been acquired by a global healthcare goods and tech business for an undisclosed sum. Craftex Cleaning Systems, in Ilchester, manufactures cleaning chemicals and machinery for the the UK and European market.
It has been acquired by 2San, which provides infection control technologies, diagnostic testing kits, medical grade PPE, and certified medical consumables to governments, healthcare entities and corporate clients across retail, big pharma, insurance, leisure and the travel industries.
2San said the acquisition of Craftex would "spearhead" its expansion into sustainable chemical-free cleaning. The company also said it would use its global supply chain, logistics and sales structure to help Craftex expand further beyond Europe.
