Comments: The world is back to business and Ecolab is back to double-digit sales gains. Corporate sales rose 11% to $14.1 billion last year. By region, North America accounted for 56% of sales; followed by Europe, 21%; Asia Pacific (including Greater China), 13%; Latin America, 6%; and India, Middle East and Africa, 4%.
By business segment, global industrial accounted for 48% of sales; followed by global institutional & specialty (31%), global healthcare & life sciences (11%) and other (10%). Global industrial sales, which includes food & beverage, rose 14% to nearly $7 billion. Within the business unit, all operating segments reported double-digit growth. F&B sales jumped 14%, primarily due to price increases.
Global institutional & specialty sales rose 15% to nearly $4.5 billion. Ecolab credited the gain to a combination of higher prices and new business wins; the later driven by Ecolab Science Certified programs.
Earlier this year, in February, Ecolab partnered with The Home Depot to launch Ecolab Scientific Clean. The new retail product line is said to offer the cleaning solutions for commercial, industrial and residential use that Ecolab is known for, now available at The Home Depot. The latest line of products will give both pro and DIY customers in-store access to innovative cleaning technology, according to The Home Depot. It’s the first time that Ecolab has entered the consumer retail space and it does so with the catchy tagline, “Clean like you mean business.”
“Every day, in countries all over the world, restaurants, hospitals and hotels put their trust in Ecolab products to keep their kitchens, operating rooms and guest rooms clean,” said Darrell Brown, president and chief operating officer at Ecolab. “For the very first time, our new Ecolab Scientific Clean products will bring 100 years of expertise and innovation to Home Depot customers.”
