Christeyns welcomes Kemvit Oy to the family

Christeyns takes another significant step forward with the acquisition of Kemvit Oy, a Finnish producer of professional cleaning solutions based in Alaveteli.

With over 30 years of experience, Kemvit is a well-established and trusted name in the Professional Hygiene market. Its strong KW brand, loyal customer base, and well-developed distributor network provide an excellent platform for continued growth. Today, around 20% of Kemvit’s production is already exported to nine countries — a testament to the quality and reach of its offer.

This acquisition further strengthens Christeyns’ position in Northern Europe, deepening its footprint in Finland and the broader Scandinavian market.

“Christeyns already has a strong presence in Finland and Scandinavia through our Laundry Technology and Food Hygiene divisions. With Kemvit, we reinforce our position in Professional Hygiene and take another meaningful step in our expansion across the Scandinavian market,” says CEO Alain Bostoen.

Kemvit’s local production capacity will play an important role in serving the Finnish market efficiently — reducing reliance on imports and keeping logistics costs competitive.

We are proud to welcome the Kemvit team to the Christeyns family. This partnership is a further expression of our long-term strategy: growing internationally through strong local expertise, trusted brands, and a shared commitment to hygiene excellence.
