Opening a new market

Modernisation of a touchless car wash in Hannut

A lot of functionalities and attractive solutions pleasantly surprised our investor. All thanks to solutions which, on the one hand, emphasise the convenience of car wash operation for the facility manager and, on the other hand, ensure a high standard of washing and easy operation for the customer. The decision to choose our technology was unequivocal.

“We have been building positive experiences for our business partners and their customers for over 30 years. We want them to enjoy their business” – comments Piotr Andrzejewski, Business Development Director.

Where did it all start? The investor owned a competitor’s touchless car wash, which had its best years behind it. Together with BKF’s dealer for this region of Europe, we proposed cooperation in replacing the technology with a new one.

In order to reduce the costs of the whole project, the investor kept selected components from the old car wash, such as the boiler, high-pressure pumps, motors, water softening and reverse osmosis system.

In the modernised car wash in Hannut, there are of course new, popular washing programmes such as active foam or brush washing. However, new washing programmes are not everything!

The biggest technological surprise for the investor was the contrast between the old and the new control system. Easy and quick access to the remote control panel and Carwash Manager with a lot of interesting functionalities provided him with full comfort of work and secure operation of the car wash business.

Apart from the washing technology change, the washing bays were also refreshed and the control panels were replaced with new ones. These changes significantly improved the experience of customers using the car wash.

Further expansion

Our car washes are already present on 25 markets in Europe and Asia. In the coming years, we are planning to increase our share in selected locations and expand further.
