WEINHEIM – The Professional division of Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions, which includes the Vileda Professional brand, has taken over Vermop.

With 330 employees, Vermop supplies modular cleaning systems and products for cleaning professionals that are well established on the market. The company that has its headquarters in Gilching near Munich and production facilities in Wertheim, Baden-Württemberg, had sales of around €46 million in 2022.

The contract for the acquisition was signed back on May 17 and the antitrust authorities have now approved the transaction.

“We are delighted that this acquisition will enable us to successfully continue our national and international growth strategy and tap into new potential,” said Karin Overbeck, CEO of Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions. “We complement each other perfectly in terms of our focus, creating a strong national player on the German market with very good international prospects.”

All Vermop businesses will continue to operate as usual. The full integration of the brand into the group is to be implemented in the course of the coming year.
