At a Nestlé factory in Switzerland, an additional focus was placed on preventive contamination control. Although the facility was not experiencing contamination issues, the team continuously looks for ways to strengthen risk minimisation and further protect critical environments. Following positive feedback from other European locations, the company chose to implement Dycem as part of its proactive approach to contamination control.
CHALLENGE
Unlike many organisations that seek solutions after encountering contamination problems, this site was driven by an intrinsic desire to improve. With existing risk minimisation measures already in place, the objective was not to fix a problem but to elevate cleanliness standards and prevent contaminants from entering sensitive production areas.
The team wanted a reliable solution that would clearly demonstrate performance while supporting their long-term hygiene strategy.
SOLUTION
After an internal recommendation and strong results reported at other company locations, the site selected Dycem to enhance floor-level contamination control.
CleanZone and WorkZone mats were initially installed during the autumn at all entrances to critical areas. The mats quickly proved their value by visibly capturing dirt and particles before they could migrate into controlled spaces. Their ability to clearly show the degree of soiling provided reassurance that the system was working effectively.
In addition to product performance, the customer highlighted the responsive and supportive service provided by Dycem, noting the importance of quick communication and reliable personal support.
RESULTS
The impact was immediate. Although there had been no prior contamination concerns, the team could clearly see how much debris was being retained by the mats, reinforcing confidence in their decision.
Satisfaction with the solution led to further investment just months later. In December, the company expanded its Dycem installation to include the workshop and waste room, demonstrating strong trust in the product’s effectiveness and a continued commitment to raising hygiene standards.
Today, the site views Dycem as a successful enhancement to its contamination control strategy. The organisation would recommend the solution and values both its performance and the ongoing customer care provided.
