On Friday 6th Sept our Managing Director attended Katrin Professional Hygiene Solutions’ 50th Birthday celebration at Ascot along with Metsä Tissue’s management team.
Despite the weather, it was a great day to celebrate the fabulous achievements from the last 50 years of Katrin innovations and success.
What’s more, we help raise almost £1,000 for The Hygiene Bank.
Thank you for a great day!

Taking part in Katrin’s recent tree planting campaign whilst attending Interclean in Amsterdam, we are delighted that Metsa has decided to support a reforestation project in so-called ‘Krattwald’ in Handeloh (North Lower Saxony, Germany). The area is known for its old, overgrown oak trees spreading over approx. 2,000 sqm.
To regenerate and preserve this 150 year old population, young oak and yew trees are going to be planted during peak planting season in fall and we are excited that our tree has been planted!
Futures Supplies supply partner, Metsä Group has just launched its third Sustainability Report focusing on further development of its target setting, supply chain management and stakeholder engagement.
Achieving targets to reduce fossil CO2 emissions in production by 30% per product tonne from the 2009 levels Metsä is one of Futures Supplies main supply partners and they are committed to sustainability throughout their whole supply chain.
A summary brochure version of the Sustainability Report is now available to download for the first time at www.metsatissue.com
Constantly delivering on innovation and sustainability, Futures Supplies has recently added the Handy Pack hand towels to its range from Metsa Tissue. A plastic case with carry handles which enhance hygiene; the new Handy Packs are extremely durable and protect the contents from moisture as well as delivering on hygiene, value and sustainability.
The Handy Packs produce less volume of waste than traditional cardboard cases and are completely recyclable. A lighter plastic casing, easily stackable and with ‘carry handles’, makes them a delight for cleaning staff to transport and distribute hand towels around the building.
With so many advantages, the Handy Pack is a ‘win win’ product.
Training personnel has always been a key driver in continual staff development at Futures Supplies to ensure we meet and exceed our customers needs and this month saw the official launch of a brand new Katrin Training Academy.
Based at the head office premises of Metsa Tissue in Walton on Thames, the Katrin Academy is aimed at those selling washroom products or involved in Facilities Management and Contract Cleaning, and is designed to be about learning through practical example.
Amy Whittle, our Sales Manager and Trish in Sales Support were delighted to take part in the first official Academy programme which was extremely well received and won high praise from all those who attended, with sessions being interactive using a full range of Katrin tools including presentations, videos, practical exercises and online tools.
