Unger Window Cleaning Tools: Celebrating 50 years of excellence in 2014

Half a century of dedication, innovation and understanding the needs of the professional cleaning sector will be marked next year, as Unger celebrates its 50th anniversary in 2014.

When Henry Unger seized the opportunity to improve the working lives of German window cleaners back in 1964, by introducing them to the latest innovative products from the US, he could not have guessed that he had started a European cleaning revolution.  From humble beginnings – he launched the business from his grandmother’s attic in Hamburg – the company now spans the globe. The family values that inspired his vision remain strong today, and continue through his three sons, who still guide Unger, reaffirming their father’s core values of quality, trust and customer service.

Unger’s 50 years so far have been filled with major milestones. The S Squeegee was the company’s first breakthrough in 1966 – made from stainless steel, not bronze, and featuring a quick release mechanism to make changing the rubber strips easy, speeding up the cleaning process.  Fast forward to the Ergotec® Ninja, a quantum leap in squeegee design, form and usability; followed by the development of the HiFloTM PureWater cleaning system for windows and façades, and it’s plain to see that Unger has never stood still in its quest to make window cleaning safer, swifter and even more successful in terms of results and profitability.

Plans for the half centenary celebrations include:

  • Special limited edition products made available to valued customers to help them commemorate this milestone with Unger
  • Celebratory events across the world, where customers and distributors will join with Unger to mark the occasion
  • Product promotions to thank and reward Unger’s customers for their continued loyalty
  • And much more – watch this space!

 

2014 will not just be a time of celebration for Unger, it will also mark the start of another 50 years, and more, of innovation to come.
