FM newsroom- corporate news, sustainable operation. B+N Referencia Zrt. has created a private-label paper product line under the HYGON brand. Launching the production and use of private-label hygiene paper products simultaneously helps the leading facility management company in the Central and Eastern European region to optimise its supply chains, standardise quality and manage its facility management operations more sustainably.
Milestone in B+N’s 32-Year Journey
B+N Referencia Zrt., 32 years old this year, has reached another milestone, launching a completely new, private-label hygiene paper product line under the HYGON brand. The HYGON products share the common values of environmentally friendly production and a high degree of functionality, while the production launch reduces B+N’s dependence on suppliers and helps the company perform facility operation tasks in this area with uniform, high-quality results. The products manufactured by MAGYAR PISZKE PAPÍR Kft. on behalf of B+N will be introduced to the domestic market first, but according to the plans, B+N’s foreign subsidiaries will also use them.
Core Pillars: Sustainability, Quality, and Supply Security
HYGON’s paper products are built on the three pillars of sustainability, quality, and supply security. The products are environmentally certified by the Forest Stewardship Council. Their packaging is recyclable. A key goal is to shorten supply chains and lower carbon emissions. To this end, the manufacturer delivers HYGON products directly to the places of use in addition to the central warehouse, avoiding unnecessary logistical circles. The company is currently in the process of EU Ecolabel certification, and it also plans to expand its portfolio further, for example, by developing its own brand of environmentally conscious cleaning products.
“The launch of the HYGON product line both serves our customers’ interests and supports our sustainability objectives. Our company performs facility operation tasks at 21,000 locations in Hungary and 8 other European countries. With HYGON products, we will be able to provide this to our partners in the future in an even more consistent and higher quality, and at the same time in a sustainable way“, said Csaba Szij, Deputy CEO of B+N Referencia Zrt.
Shared Vision for Sustainable Growth
As a partner of B+N, MAGYAR PISZKE PAPÍR Kft. manufactures HYGON products. The two companies have been working together in the field of building hygiene for one and a half years, based on shared values and vision. MAGYAR PISZKE PAPÍR Kft. applies numerous sustainability aspects when manufacturing paper products. The packaging includes foil-free and recycled cardboard solutions. Production technologies and raw material ratios are optimised to suit different uses, whether it’s the composition of hand towels or toilet paper.
“The business approaches of B+N and MAGYAR PISZKE PAPÍR meet at many points. Both companies are innovative and committed to sustainability, be it product development, production technology or logistics. We believe that sustainability is not only an environmental advantage but also an economic one. Eco-solutions that were previously thought to be more expensive now mean at least the same cost level, but in many cases also savings in the use of hygiene products,” said Ferenc Bodrogai, owner and managing director of MAGYAR PISZKE PAPÍR Kft.
With more than 30 years of experience in facility management, B+N Referencia Zrt. is currently present in 9 countries. As one of the largest employers in Hungary, it has 15,000 registered employees. In Hungary, it employs nearly 6,000 specially trained employees in the hospital cleaning sector alone. 98% of the group’s customers in foreign markets are competitive market players. By introducing the HYGON product line, the company is not only making its own operations greener but also offering its customers an environmentally friendly, future-oriented solution.
