Neil Nixon reports from Karcher UK’s Banbury headquarters where 30th birthday celebrations were marked by the opening of a superb new training facility. The visit also provided the opportunity to speak with Hartmut Jenner, CEO and chairman of the management board of the parent company Alfred Karcher GmbH.

Karcher UK has turned 30, and C&M was invited to attend the party. Yes, there was a cake. Yes, there was Champagne. But the high point of the day was the unveiling – by Hartmut Jenner, CEO and chairman of the management board of the German parent company – of the Karcher Academy. This magnificent training facility is situated in a standalone building on the site of the headquarters building, and is unlike anything else you will find in our industry.

For more than 20 years Trafalgar Cleaning Equipment Ltd has been manufacturing self-contained trailer mounted cold/hot water pressure washing equipment to carry out all aspects of cleaning and graffiti/gum removal.

A decision was made a couple of years ago to concentrate on developing van mounted systems to provide the most versatile, operator friendly, comprehensively equipped facility. This direction was taken in response to customer feedback that highlighted the issues and current legislation regarding the use of trailers, specifically within city areas.

Big machine technology comes to compact pressure washers with the launch of Nilfisk-ALTO’s economical new Neptune 2, the latest addition to its comprehensive range of hot water pressure washers.

Based on a totally new design for entry level machines, the robust Neptune 2 ensures optimum efficiency and ease of operation. The new machine has much in common with larger models in the Neptune range - offering users 100% mobility and a powerful solution for the toughest of small cleaning jobs.

Service for agricultural and industrial users of pressure washers and other powered cleaning equipment in the South West has received a major boost with the expansion of a Devon-based sales and service specialist.
