Overview
There's a reason why more than 60,000 businesses across North America and internationally trust Swisher for their hygiene services: we actually invented the industry. It all started back in 1983, when we began offering businesses the opportunity to have their facilities sanitized by a true specialist. From the very first day, the response has been overwhelming.
Products & Services
It's not surprising. Hygiene has a real impact on a business's bottom line - increased absenteeism, lowered productivity, customer dissatisfaction and even potential litigation are all directly related to poor hygiene practices. Record numbers of businesses today are looking for partners who can administer programs that will allow them to provide an environment that's safe, clean and healthy, and outsourcing makes perfect sense. Look at virtually any company out there, and you can be confident that their employees don't want to service restrooms, can't service dishwashers and shouldn't be pouring bulk chemicals. That translates into a large and growing marketplace for Swisher.
Swisher is uniquely positioned to meet this need. We have established ourselves as the industry's only true full-service hygiene expert by doing one thing and one thing only: providing commercial hygiene services. We've developed proprietary technology and specialized products that our customers count on for their ongoing operations, and we deliver them with technicians who provide the routine, personal contact that's so important for strong and lasting business relationships.
Most importantly, we are constantly looking for ways to improve and evolve our company. As technology changes and as our understanding of microbial threats changes, Swisher reacts accordingly, developing innovative, effective solutions quickly and affordably. For the first part of our history, we were known for a core group of services - manual sanitizing of porcelain fixtures, odor control and urinal screens. These continue to be a central component of our complete offering, only now they're supplemented by a diversified portfolio of cutting-edge programs that no one else in the industry can match. They're also programs that our customers can't do without. We've found that by concentrating our efforts on need-to-have programs in favor of nice-to-have programs, we become better, more trusted and more essential business partners to our full range of customers. Among the key services we offer:

Why Swisher Hygiene?
Professional leadership
Swisher is genuinely a pioneering organization, largely credited with inventing the commercial hygiene industry 25 years ago. In that time, no one has dedicated more resources or research into understanding the industry - determining customer profiles, detailing specific needs and niches, developing products and solutions - and our franchisees today benefit from that experience. Add to it the extraordinary business acumen of people like our principals H. Wayne Huizenga and Steve Berrard, two of the most successful entrepreneurs of our generation - the team responsible for, among other things, Blockbuster Entertainment - and you have an organization that can deliver success-building support and strategies like no other.
Competitive Advantages
Swisher Hygiene is the only true full-service provider in the business. That's of particular value to our customers because we operate in a highly fragmented industry, populated primarily by small, local companies that lack the scale to deliver significant price advantages or full product options. And while there are some larger, national companies with an interest in certain elements of hygiene service, none can match us in our combination of price, products, programs and people. For example, some may deliver a broad range of products, but they fail to offer the close personal service that we're known for. Others that do have a service component tie it to a very limited number of offerings, essentially telling their customers to take-it-or-leave-it. That's not the way we operate. We believe in delivering the broadest ranges of proven products to our customers - solutions that are designed to address their real world needs - and our programs are all administered by technicians who are trained to be as customer friendly as they are technically adept.
