EMPERIA 1900TM – Hygiene Care, a division of Empire Industries Limited, a 124-year-old conglomerate with a repertoire of business interests and a legacy of trust, has made forays into the cleaning and hygiene industry. Sandeep Jain, Director & CEO of EMPERIA 1900, recounts his inspiring journey, from modest beginnings during the pandemic to remarkable growth in recent years.
What prompted the evolution from a vending solutions provider to a hygiene solutions brand strategist?
One of Empire Industries Limited’s shining stars is Grabbit+: Premium Vending Solutions, which has not only revolutionised the vending industry in India but also paved the way for the emergence of EMPERIA 1900.
We recognized the scarcity of basic necessities during the pandemic and ventured into creating EMPERIA 1900 to offer innovative and effective hygiene care solutions. We realized the importance of safe and effective products to maintain hygiene, therefore all our products are carefully formulated to meet the highest standards of quality and safety. Our team of experts has years of experience in the hygiene care industry and is committed to providing exceptional customer service.
We not only provided vending services to essential organizations but also assisted institutions in maintaining health and hygiene. Our offerings include cleaning and disinfection solutions, degreasers, kitchen cleaning supplies, personal care products and a variety of other necessities.
What cleaning techniques do you employ, and what sets them apart?
As technology continues to shape industries, EMPERIA 1900 is poised to capitalize on this transformation, which is why one of the distinctive selling points of its vital housekeeping collection of products, i.e. the volume series and kitchen pro series, i.e. K-Pro is integrated with “Smart Micellar Technology” (SMT).
SMT is one of the most effective mechanisms for cleaning surfaces, as the micellar structure encapsulates soil particles, reducing the soil particles’ interaction with the surface, and disintegrates into microscopic, fine particles as soon as the surface is rinsed. An aspect that is truly recognized is the meticulous attention to detail that goes into its comprehensive collection of products, ensuring efficacy and safety.
SMT sets a new standard for cleaning effectiveness. This cutting-edge approach leverages smart action techniques to deliver unparalleled cleaning and disinfecting results. This techno-enabled surfactant is smart enough for all stains, dirt and soil types.
Similarly, ARMSXTM – A Broad Spectrum Multipurpose Disinfectant, a highly concentrated cleaner and deodorant, was developed on 5th Generation Quaternary Ammonium Chemistry. This potent quaternary ammonium compound comprises cationic charge carrier molecules that help in easy application on surfaces, resulting in rapid and efficient disinfection.
What are your unique selling points, and how do you ensure compliance with the industry standards?
The goal is to be the preferred choice for hygiene solutions across diverse sectors like facility management, HORECA, hospitals, institutions, corporations, and industries.
Comprehensive training sessions are provided to the housekeeping staff, equipping them with the necessary skills and knowledge to maintain a clean and organized work environment.
As part of our commitment, we supply and install equipment like auto-dilution pumps, dispensers, and measuring cups, to automate certain processes and simplify operations. We offer product demonstrations showcasing our wide range of products.
Furthermore, we do a detailed analysis to discover any gaps or areas for development that require attention in order to maximize efficacy.
We maintain a rigorous quality control system throughout our processes, including validating high-quality ingredients, ensuring optimal formulation, and testing for stability. Our commitment extends to adhering to top industry standards in research, formulation, and manufacturing. We also conduct thorough performance trials and use high-grade, chemically inert polymers for packaging, ensuring safe transport and storage.
What are your growth and expansion plans for the next five years?
With a steadfast commitment to innovation, our plan is to continue shaping the hygiene care industry and capture a substantial market share in sectors like facility management, HORECA, hospitals, institutions, corporations, and industries.
This journey will be fueled by a dedication to quality, innovation, and a customer-centric approach.
In a world that demands greater attention to hygiene and health, we stand tall in providing leading hygiene solutions and creating a healthier and safer world, which is both inspirational and impactful.
As we continue to embrace technology, foster innovation and serve society responsibly, the future looks brighter and cleaner under the banner of EMPERIA 1900.
Guided by our vision to improve public health and hygiene with innovative solutions and a customer-centric approach, we are dedicated to taking housekeeping professionals through a comprehensive training module that enables them to elevate their skills and maintain a clean and sanitized environment. These training modules can help optimise resource usage, leading to reduced consumption and lower costs. This would also educate them about safety measures, to maintain their well-being as well, therefore, in the near future, we are committed to training one million professionals at no cost.
