Cleaning and sanitation chemicals producer selects Siveco’s maintenance solution for new Taicang plant

Ecolab, a global leader in cleaning and sanitizing products, has selected Siveco to implement a maintenance management system in its new plant located in Taicang, in China's Jiangsu province. Headquartered in the US, the company employs about 40,000 people for a global revenue of 11 billion USD in 2011. Ecolab opened its first Chinese plant in Shanghai in 1987 and has since set up six manufacturing bases in the country. In 2011, Ecolab started construction of a 100 million USD factory in Taicang, to produce disinfectant, with a daily output capacity of 1.5 million tons. Taicang is to become the group's largest production base worldwide.

The construction of the plant was completed at the end of March 2012. As part of the production start-up, Siveco will help Ecolab organize its technical documentation and build-up its maintenance practice through the implementation of a computerized maintenance management system. The project has already started.
