Glowex is a young company driven by a clear vision for the sustainable and economically optimized transformation of conventional cleaning methods.
Our strategic vision is built on over a decade of hands-on experience delivering cost reduction, waste reduction, and workforce efficiency initiatives within the commercial cleaning industry. We support hospitality facilities across the Netherlands in creating healthier, safer, and more sustainable environments.
We bring proven expertise in optimizing entire cleaning operations to be both highly efficient and remarkably simple—while safeguarding our clients’ most valuable resources: time, workforce, and budget.
Such an ambitious commitment, aligned with a strong focus on sustainability, can only be achieved through unique products, patented formulations, and innovative systems.
As a proud provider of industry-leading cleaning products and systems from Diversey, a Solenis company, we deliver safe-to-use, value-driven cleaning solutions that create real value and produce measurable results.
We earn trust through transparency, pilot programs, and measurable outcomes. Unlike traditional wholesale suppliers, we transform cleaning operations through strategic optimization, expert guidance, and performance-based solutions.
Cleaning isn’t just about removing dirt — it’s about protecting people, reducing risk, and lowering operational costs. Traditional bulk buying often leads to:
Glowex challenges this model with a total cost-of-ownership mindset, where success is measured by performance and reduction in consumption, not volume sold.
We focus on three pillars:
We conduct on-site evaluations to measure:
These insights become the foundation for tailored improvement plans.
Glowex reduces environmental impact through:
Our philosophy is simple — less is more: fewer products, less waste, better results.
Every Glowex partnership includes:
This ensures your cleaning program keeps improving over time.
We measure our success through your results:
Reduced chemical consumption
Lower plastic waste
Higher hygiene standards
More predictable cleaning costs
Glowex operates as a specialized hygiene partner in the Netherlands, bridging the gap between high-performance cleaning and environmental responsibility. By partnering with Diversey and utilizing EU Ecolabel-certified systems, Glowex prioritizes the "Less is More" philosophy.
In the hygiene industry, the traditional wholesale model is built on a fundamental conflict of interest: the more chemicals you waste, the more the wholesaler profits. Glowex disrupts this cycle by acting as a Solution Partner, where our success is measured by how much we can reduce your consumption, not how much we can sell you. We do not operate on a bulk-stock or high-volume sales model. Instead, we work as a solution partner, focusing on reducing overall product use.
| # | Performance Metrics | Traditional Wholesale Model | Glowex Model |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | Requirements for constant cost advantage | High-volume product orderings | Super-concentrated products with smart dosing systems. Supported with monthly on-site system check, cleaning staff training, proactive reporting for efficiency. |
| 2 | Pricing Focus | Price per unit | Total Cost Ownership (TCO) of the entire cleaning operation in a monthly basis, calculated with all product categories. |
| 3 | Sustainability | Waste-heavy (bulk plastic) | Minimized plastic & chemical waste. EU Ecolabel certified, biodegradable, compact and concentrated cleaning systems. |
| 4 | Customer Engagement | Transactional/Delivery | Periodic Consulting & Continuous Training |
Traditional wholesalers compete on the "price per bottle," which often leads to poor-quality chemicals that require double the effort and volume to work. Glowex focuses on Total Cost of Ownership (TCO). By providing super-concentrated Diversey systems, we ensure that the cost per application is lower, even if the technology is more advanced.
While wholesalers might offer a "green" line of products at a premium, sustainability is baked into the Glowex core.
EU Ecolabel Certified: We exclusively use high-performance, eco-friendly systems.
Plastic Reduction: Our concentrated dosing systems (like QuattroSelect or SmartDose) significantly reduce the amount of plastic waste entering the environment compared to standard ready-to-use spray bottles.
The biggest hidden cost in cleaning is over-dosing. Traditional bulk-buy chemicals are often poured by eye, leading to chemical waste and surface damage. Glowex implements automated dosing systems that deliver the exact amount of chemical needed—no more, no less. This extends the lifetime of your products and reduces re-ordering frequency.
A wholesaler’s job ends at your loading dock. A Glowex partnership begins there. We include Periodic Services as Standard to ensure our solutions actually work:
Reducing product volume in existing programs to lower the total cost of ownership.
Eliminating chemical waste through precise dosing systems and user education.
Increasing the time between re-orders by maximizing efficient use of every purchased unit.
Actively reducing the plastic footprint associated with commercial cleaning products.
Using expert consulting and training to raise the baseline of hygiene across facilities.
