It started with a miracle in 1990.

Since the companys foundation in 1967, Advanced Cleaning Technics (ACT) has gone from being a textile company like many others, to being a brand name for one of the world's most successful water-based cleaning concepts. The foundation of the concept was laid in 1990 when we invented the world's first cleaning product in ultra-microfibre the product rapidly gained ground and became known as "the miracle cloth", due to its 'miraculous' cleaning properties. Many others have tried to copy our product over the past decade. We preferred to focus on product development, and today we can offer a range of products that form the basis of a complete system for more effective, more ergonomic and more economic cleaning. We may be based in the small community of Viskafors in south-west Sweden, but the world is our market. And that's no miracle, just the result of goal-conscious hard work.

Made in Sweden. We manufacture all our products in our own factory in Viskafors, Sweden. We take care of our own production to ensure we have total control over quality - which again is vital for ensuring our products maintain our extremely high quality requirements.

Product development. Call it philosophy, call it attitude, but the way we see it, you're never better than your latest product. That is why product development is a central and continuous element of our operation.
Our new range of handles and frames is a success and these are our latest product development, launched during 2005.

Just add water. Our water-based cleaning concept has rapidly gained market share, and is now one of the world's most successful water-based cleaning concepts. The principle is simple: you should be able to clean, wet and dry, with first-class results while reducing the use of chemicals. The concept has been tried and tested, and is renowned in Scandinavia and several other European countries.
 
The three segments. We mainly operate on the professional market, at schools and childcare institutions, as well as in hospitals, hotels, restaurants, offices and industry. for more information see www.vikan.com. Sales of our products to consumers primarily take place through direct sales. Our third and smallest segment consists of products we manufacture for other companies, which are then sold under private brands in retail stores.
