Cleanfix-Schevaran kick-off unit at Mysuru to produce cleaning equipment

Switzerland-based robotic hygiene and cleaning equipment company Cleanfix Reinigungssysteme AG has partnered with Mysuru-based cleaning solutions manufacturer Schevaran Laboratories to launch a manufacturing facility in Mysuru.

The 50,000 sq ft operational facility will produce high-end cleaning machines and equipment, Schevaran said in a press release.

Switzerland Ambassador to India and Bhutan Ralf Heckner launched the Cleanfix India facility at Thandya in Nanjangud taluk on Wednesday in the presence of Yaduveer Krishnadatta Chamaraja Wadiyar of the erstwhile Mysuru royal family.

The joint venture produces Swiss-engineered made in India products. With an Investment of about Rs 110 crore, the unit is one of the largest in the cleaning machine and equipment industry, the company said in a press release.

The facility will manufacture 20 types of machines ranging from the simplest to the ability to make complex robotics. These machines offer automated cleaning solutions for a variety of uses ranging from large-sized spaces like warehouses, malls, and railway stations to smaller and more complex areas like corporate workspaces, the release added.

The joint venture will leverage the AI and robotics abilities of the Cleanfix Development Centre in delivering modern automated cleaning solutions, it said.

“This Indo-Swiss JV in manufacturing will pave the way for Cleanfix-Schevaran to emerge as a strong player in the cleaning equipment industry. We look forward to a growth that is not just sustainable but also responsible. There will be tremendous focus on automation and robotic cleaning which is really the need of the hour,” Cleanfix-Schevaran India managing director Alex Cherian Kumbukattu said.
