SHAPING
THE FUTURE TOGETHER

In today’s world, food safety and hygiene are more important than ever. Hygiene is more than an obligation; it is a promise to consumers. The Hygiene Alliance is an international initiative dedicated to raising food safety standards by bringing together leading enterprises in the industry. 

A Strong Future Built on Family Values

Elpress and PHT, the first members and founding fathers of the Hygiene Alliance, set the standard for hygiene and food safety. This is why the two family-owned businesses have chosen a path of strategic partnership based on trust and respect and embody the commitment, expertise, and innovation that define the alliance. United by a shared vision, we collaborate while each continues to build on its own strengths and expertise. By fostering innovation and ensuring worldwide access to high quality hygiene products and food safety products, the companies forming the Hygiene Alliance will contribute to a safer future for all. Because when it comes to hygiene, progress happens together.

Elpress

Elpress’ solutions help businesses maintain a safe and sanitary production environment, preventing contamination and ensuring food safety.

Jannes Voss, Managing Director of Elpress explains: “By working together, we strengthen our ability to provide high-quality hygiene solutions that protect consumers and support businesses worldwide. At Elpress, we believe that progress in increasing food safety can speed up when two family run industry leaders unite with a common vision.”.

“Out of mutual respect for what has been achieved, combined with trust, a cooperation has emerged!” says PHT-Bad Tölz Managing Director Rudolf Tripold. “In times when economic mergers or acquisitions of companies are the order of the day, our two family-owned businesses have decided to take a different path.”.
