CWS Hygiene and Workwear Services

CWS is a leading professional service brand specializing in hygiene solutions, floorcare, and workwear rental services. The brand has its roots in Germany, dating back to the Schnickmann family business in 1899. Today, it is a key player in the European market, providing essential bathroom hygiene equipment like soap dispensers and towel rolls, as well as protective work clothing and mat services.

While CWS provides services across many European nations, its production and manufacturing for equipment and textiles are spread over multiple countries to maintain a robust supply chain. The brand is currently under the umbrella of the Haniel Group, a long-standing German investment firm, which manages it as part of a diversified portfolio of business-to-business services.
