Creating Value Through Dispensing

Dispensing continues to revolutionize every dimension of the global cleaning market.

Whether for facility cleaning and disinfection, process cleaning of parts and equipment, household cleaning applications, or even personal care, dispensing systems transform the user experience – and the value – of every drop of chemical and every square inch of substrate.

In this session we will:

•     discuss why and how dispensing technology can be applied to all sectors of the wiping industry to create value for the customer;

•     examine implications of dispensing to the business model – and brand value – of wiping industry participants;

•     investigate some key trends and future directions in dispenser development for the wiping category;

•     and finally, consider a framework for thinking through the development of a dispensing system offering.
