are confident that this merger will strengthen our position as a leader in the JanSan industry.
It represents a significant opportunity for both companies, and we want to assure our valued
collaborators that our operations will continue seamlessly without any disruptions.

Since its establishment in 1986, Sanixel has emerged as a prosperous and innovative company, thanks
to the quality and diversity of its products, as well as its swift and professional service. As a founding
member of the Dissan Group since 1991, Sanixel has built a strong and reliable partnership over the
years and has been actively involved in Dissan’s operations.
