Vileda Squeegee

Vileda is a well-known household cleaning brand with roots tracing back to Germany in 1948. Developed under the Freudenberg Group, the brand began after researchers observed the effectiveness of a non-woven synthetic leather cleaning cloth, giving rise to the name 'Vileda' (derived from the German phrase 'wie Leder', meaning 'like leather'). Over the decades, Vileda has expanded its portfolio to include an extensive array of mops, brooms, cloths, and specialized window and surface squeegees.

Today, Vileda operates as part of Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions (FHCS), a core division of the German family-owned conglomerate Freudenberg SE. Headquartered in Weinheim, Germany, Freudenberg oversees a vast global supply chain, with manufacturing facilities located across various European countries, including Germany, Italy, and the Czech Republic, as well as production sites in Asia.

In the United Kingdom, Vileda products are distributed and managed locally by Freudenberg Home and Cleaning Solutions Ltd, based in Rochdale. The brand remains synonymous with durable and ergonomic domestic and commercial cleaning tools across British retail markets.
