Alpine has long been the dominant washroom hygiene service provider in that market and I am delighted that Alpine's owners, Ray and Kim Olthof, felt that we were the right buyer for their company."
Add Ray and Kim Olthof, "we wanted to ensure that we sold to a company that fully understood our business and would look after our employees and loyal customers in keeping with our tradition. Citron Hygiene is that company. As the largest player in our space in Canada, Citron Hygiene has a well-established track record of delivering excellent customer service and fostering a very positive corporate culture. We look forward to working closely with Peter's team to ensure a smooth and seamless transition process for our customers."
