a chemist.
Built on
chemistry.

Green Clean Products began in Switzerland in 1989. The product came first — formulated by a Swiss chemist with a singular obsession. The company followed.

The chemist

Roland
Bachmann.
The work of
a chemist.

Roland Bachmann was not a businessman. He was a chemist — the kind who worked because the chemistry fascinated him, not because he was building a product line. A father of six, he brought to his work the same methodical passion that defines the best Swiss scientific tradition.

In the late 1980s, Roland developed what would become Green Clean Concentrate — one of the earliest multipurpose, toxic-free professional cleaning formulas in Switzerland. At a time when industrial cleaning meant harsh, hazardous chemistry, Roland's approach was different: a single high-dilution concentrate that performed across every surface and environment, without the hazard symbols that were standard on every competitor's label.

The formula was not a compromise. It was a deliberate technical achievement — a cleaning concentrate that worked as hard as anything on the market, formulated by someone who understood the chemistry well enough to remove what was unnecessary and keep what was essential.

The product Roland created in 1989 is still in production today. The formulation has been refined. The chemistry has not changed.

The context

Pioneers in
responsible
chemistry.

In 1989, a multipurpose toxic-free professional concentrate was not the norm. Switzerland had some of the most advanced chemical regulation in Europe — and Roland Bachmann's formula met a standard that most products of the era did not.

1989
Roland Bachmann develops Green Clean Concentrate — one of the first multipurpose toxic-free professional cleaning concentrates of its kind in Switzerland.

Supply expands across Europe — Germany, Italy, Mallorca, South Africa. Hundreds of thousands of litres supplied to professional operators including Merbag Group, Emil Frey, Ferrari Switzerland, Implenia, and leading hospitality groups.
2016
Green Clean Concentrate formally classified under UN GHS with no hazard pictograms — confirming in regulation what Roland's chemistry had always achieved in practice.
2026
Green Clean Products launches in the United Kingdom. The original Swiss formulation, now available to professional operators across Britain.
The founder

Gavin
Hürlimann.
The company
builder.

Gavin Hürlimann recognised what Roland Bachmann had created — a genuinely different product in a market that had never seen a professional-grade, toxic-free, multipurpose concentrate. He built the company around it.

Over 35 years, Gavin has supplied Green Clean to professional operators across Europe — automotive workshops, marine operators, hospitality businesses, and industrial facilities. Clients have included Merbag Group, Emil Frey, Ferrari Switzerland, Implenia, major superyacht manufacturers, five-star hotels, and top-rated restaurants.

The approach has always been the same: visit the site, understand the surfaces, demonstrate the product, supply what works. Green Clean Products does not sell through retail. It supplies professional businesses directly, supported by site visits and product knowledge — the same way it has operated since 1989.

Green Clean Products UK now brings the original Swiss formulation to professional operators across the United Kingdom.
