“It is our mission to make your life
easier by ensuring the best service,
solution provisions and products for

we do what we say. We have been
actively servicing the hygiene sector
for over 10 years and in 2017 we
introduced the Hillbrush Hygiene
range throughout New Zealand.”
Distributing the Hillbrush Hygiene
range allowed the company to bring
the most advanced technology
including the DRS Resin Set range
along with anti-microbial and metal
detectable brushware into New
Zealand while also removing the
reliance on middlemen which
ensures “we can provide higher
quality equipment at better prices.
The engagement with Hillbrush has
The food industry has the
ultimate responsibility of ensuring
that the products they source,
process and pack can be safely
consumed – physical, chemical
and biological cleanliness is an
absolute prerequisite for food
safety.
Throughout the entire supply
chain there are significant
risks of cross-contamination
no more so than within the
factory environment where raw
materials and ingredients come
into contact with surfaces and
an environment that can carry
and harbour pathogenic bacteria
such as Campylobacter, MRSA,
E.coli, Legionella, Listeria and
Salmonella amongst other microorganisms.
Recognising the increasing
importance of the quality and
compliance pillars of food
manufacturing and production,
NZ Brush has partnered with
Hillbrush to bring what is
described as the world’s most
advanced cleaning equipment
and tools to NZ customers.

allowed us to better engage with
and serve our existing customers.”

spent many years struggling to
meet its existing hygiene clients’
growing needs with its existing
suppliers in New Zealand.

solutions in New Zealand so went
global to find the partner who could
assist us and our clients.”
Hillbrush has a range of over twothousand
products, distribution
partners in over 90 countries, and
a brand-new manufacturing facility
constructed in 2017 on the outskirts
of Mere, Wiltshire. Their mission
for continuous development is as
prominent now as it was when the
company started in 1922.
Hillbrush has developed an
extensive line of products suitable
for various sectors. The Hillbrush
hygiene system is food grade and
dairy certified with documentation
available upon request. All items are
