    Company Portrait  
       
   
  As the internationally leading manufacturer of cleaning appliances and accessories, VERMOP has been focussing for 80 years on quality, service and durability. The Salmon Group currently employs over 300 staff in 9 branches and is still on an expansion course in Europe. The professional products are in use both in commercial cleaning in hotels, hospitals or airports and in the consumer area in modern households. Through the company's own research and development, production and the long-term use in our own development centre, the functionality and ergonomic properties of the floor cleaning systems, vacuum cleaners, cleaning trolleys or appliances for class cleaning are constantly tested and further developed. With their innovative and clearly-structured design, the VERMOP products regularly come first in well-known competitions.

    Company History  
       
   
  In 1927, the grocery wholesaler Max Salmon in Mönchengladbach established a textile processing factory. At that time, he had no idea of the victory march through German households which the "Pudelmop" would enjoy around 25 years later, laying the foundation stone for the success of the "Vereinigten Mop-Werke". After the destruction of the plant in the Second World War, the Salmon company quickly recommenced production in Wertheim in Baden-Württemberg. Since then, the company has consistently been geared towards high-quality cleaning appliances and systems for commercial and private use, developed in the company. Today, VERMOP Salmon GmbH is innovative leader and research motor in the area of cleaning technology and is well prepared for the cleaning requirements of the new millennium.
