KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL*, a leading provider of health and hygiene solutions for the workplace, has launched two new products, SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towel and Slimfold Dispenser, designed for use together in washrooms where space is limited.
“This is the most compact folded hand towel and dispenser system from KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* yet,” says Richard Millard, Senior Category Manager for Hand Towels. “These new products are the ideal answer to saving space in the washroom. Even though the new system looks small on the outside, there’s no compromise in capacity with room for up to 250 towels, enough for over 100 hand dries.”
The Slimfold Dispenser is just 7.5cm deep ensuring it fits into the smallest spaces, yet the SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towels are full size, therefore maintaining maximum drying efficiency. A viewing slot makes it easy to see when to refill the dispenser. Its drop down lid is designed for quick and easy refills and it is made from ABS plastic to give it strength and durability.
As well as confined spaces, the small size of the Slimfold Dispenser means that several can be installed in larger washrooms, ensuring that towels are located where they are needed for maximum convenience.
The SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towel, designed to be used with the Slimfold Dispenser, uses a unique six panel design to enable it to be compressed into a small space. It is manufactured from AIRFLEX* Fabric meaning it keeps its strength when wet.
“The SCOTT® brand gives users the reassurance that they’re using a high quality product which provides excellent cost in use solutions,” says Richard Millard. “Market research findings show that there is an unmet need in the market for a smaller design of dispenser. KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* has achieved a 20 percent growth in market share in hand towels over the year to date. We believe that the SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towel and Slimfold Dispenser will help drive that growth further.”
The SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towel and Slimfold Dispenser can be purchased from KIMBERLY-CLARK PROFESSIONAL* distributors using product codes 5856 (SCOTT® Slimfold Hand Towel) and 6904 (Slimfold Dispenser).
