The Orbio® os3 system replaces conventional, multi-colored
and fragranced daily-use chemicals with a multi-purpose cleaner and a
one-step cleaner-disinfectant/sanitizer generated on site. Compact,
affordable, simple—the os3 makes cleaning processes more efficient,
streamlines training, and helps improve health and safety. It also
decreases the environmental footprint associated with conventional
packaged chemicals by reducing packaging and transportation.
“The os3 helps customers simplify their processes by replacing multiple
cleaning, disinfecting, and sanitizing chemicals with two chemicals made
at their facilities: a versatile multi-purpose cleaner and a solution
that disinfects and sanitizes,” explained
Karla Leis
, Vice President and
General Manager of Orbio Technologies Group. “Our customers appreciate
the design of the system. It’s easy for operators to use, fits in most
janitorial supply closets, and can be expanded throughout a facility
with our unique os3 satellite system.”
“Orbio Technologies is proud of this award, which acknowledges our
leadership role in the emerging OSG category. Our industry has
recognized the game-changing innovation represented in the os3,” said
Leis. “As the OSG product category grows, Orbio Technologies will
continue to assist our customers and partners in realizing the many
benefits that come with adopting the Orbio os3 and moving toward OSG,
the inevitable future of cleaning,” added Leis.
ISSA Innovation Awards winners were selected by cleaning-industry
distributors, wholesalers, building service contractors, and in-house
service professionals who cast their votes for the most innovative
products among 51 entries across five categories: Cleaning Agents,
Dispensers, Equipment, Services and Technology, and Supplies.
