Toronto, ON, January 26, 2018 – On January 1st, 2018, Citron Hygiene LP completed the acquisition of Hygiene Solutions Inc., a Chicago-based company, that provides Restroom Hygiene Services to the Midwest US.

“We are delighted to have Hygiene Solutions join the Citron Hygiene family,” Peter Farrell, Citron Hygiene CEO stated. “After our recent acquisition of Workplace Essentials in the US Northeast, it made sense to expand into the Midwest and continue to grow our footprint across the US. Hygiene Solution’s reputation for providing excellent service fits Citron’s maxim and I know it will be a great partnership.”
Marc Clemans, President & CEO of Hygiene Solutions Inc., adds, “This opportunity came at a time when I wasn’t looking to sell. But after getting reacquainted with Peter Farrell, I felt that joining the Citron team was a great opportunity for our staff and to expand the Midwest market. I feel that this venture will allow us to bring new products and services to our current and future customers.”
Both Marc Clemans, Hygiene Solutions and Peter Farrell, Citron Hygiene state, “We are both excited about the acquisition and merging of our resources. The combined expertise will greatly benefit the customers of both companies.” In due time, Hygiene Solutions will rebrand to Citron Hygiene and its leadership team will become an integral part of our US operations.
