Xeros hails hotel success
WATERLESS washing machine specialist Xeros Technology Group, which floated on the Alternative Investment Market (AIM) in March, has announced that following its latest cleaning system contract win, it now counts four out of the world’s top five hotel groups as customers.
According to the 2014 World Hotel Ranking, IHG, Hilton, Marriott, Wyndham and Choice are the top five hotel groups measured by rooms globally.
As a result, Xeros cleaning systems are now installed, or contracted to be installed, at sites with each of these four hotel groups in the US, a priority market for Xeros given the increasing scarcity and cost of water in many states.
Rotherham-based Xeros, a spin-out from Leeds University, has come up with a way of cleaning clothes by using 70% less water and 50% less energy.
Xeros CEO Bill Westwater said: “Four of the world’s top five hotel groups have now agreed to use Xeros cleaning systems in the USA and we are actively contributing to their achievement of their CSR goals in relation to sustainability. We’ve demonstrated how Xeros technology can bring lasting and meaningful benefits by way of superior cleaning, water and energy reductions and enhanced service through the commercial use of our technology for laundry.
“We are highly encouraged by the early adoption of our cleaning systems by these important customers and we look forward to working with them going forwards.”
