Cutting Edge Cleanliness.
Deep in the heart of Switzerland, Victorinox has been manufacturing its world-famous Victorinox quality knife at its site in Ibach since 1884. It all started with a small craft workshop founded there in the Canton of Schwyz by Karl Elsener.
For over 100 years, the Swiss Army Officer’s Knife was protected by law, and it has since become a synonym for Swiss quality and reliability. At the present time, 60,000 Swiss Army Knives and other pocket tools are produced daily, in a wide variety of models. In addition to these 60,000 household and professional knives are made. About 90% of this output is exported all over the world. Read more

Tenable Screw
Pero degreaser help Tenable turn the screw on SED
When the solvent emissions regulations (SER) came into force on 31 October 2007, turned parts specialist Tenable Screw Co Ltd had already decided to take early measures to avoid potential fines by replacing a non-compliant Pero solvent degreasing machine with a new Pero V1 universal solvent degreaser from sole UK agent Kumi Solutions Ltd.
“This particular machine simply didn’t meet the emissions,” states Norman Runciman, facilities manager. “We have a number of Pero machines already and they perform really well, so it was a fairly natural choice to acquire the Pero V1 from Kumi Solutions Ltd as a replacement.”

VW cleans oil coolers with minimal solvent consumption
VW in Hanover, Germany has replaced ageing washing and degreasing plant with two new PERO V2-Universal vacuum solvent vapour degreasers. The PERO units allow VW to clean 1200 tonnes of aluminium oil cooler components a year using just 358kg of solvent – the equivalent of only one gram of solvent per basket of parts! PERO systems and solutions are distributed exclusively in the UK by Kumi Solutions Ltd of Kenilworth.
“We simply had to do something”, declares Reinhard Ludwig, a key figure in oil cooler planning at the VW factory in Hanover. “Our old unit had become notorious for its ever increasing maintenance, repair costs and high consumption of neutral detergent.”
