Yesterday, June 30th, 2025, marks the last official working day of our founder and long-time major owner, Mr. Frey Taxell, in our company. Frey has been actively supporting our new owners, management, and sales since the acquisition in Autumn 2024, ensuring a smooth transition. AQUA CLEAN Ltd – Industrial Cleaning Systems was originally a family company of Frey Taxell, which started operations in 1993. However, the company’s roots go much deeper into the history of Finnish industry. In 2011, Sampo Rosenlew sold part of its business to AGCO, at which point the industrial washing machine business was separated from Sampo Rosenlew’s core business. Formerly operating purely as a sales organization, Aqua Clean acquired the entire industrial washing machine business and took responsibility for product development, production, and after sales. Today, Aqua Clean is a technology company operating globally, with over 90% of its sales coming from exports. We thank Frey for his very significant contribution to the global cleaning of industrial components and the development of related processes and success story of Aqua Clean. We wish to Frey an active retirement filled with family and enjoyable hobbies!
