Global market leader thanks to innovative product development
In 1955 Kalle introduced its first sponge cloth. By continuously developing its product portfolio the company meets one third of global demand. Kalle produces around 10 million square meters of sponge cloth every year. That corresponds to 270 million individual cloths – enough to cover 1,400 football pitches.
Everywhere, yet unseen
In the cleaning product sector, Kalle specialises exclusively in producing sponge cloths, thus making it the perfect partner to full-range suppliers of cleaning products who do not manufacture sponge cloths themselves. The Kalle sponge cloth is sold under a variety of different brand names, but you can immediately tell a Kalle sponge cloth by the distinctive diamond pattern on one side.
New applications, new product variants
Kalle draws on the unique characteristics of the sponge cloth to explore new applications and develop special variants to access new markets. Long gone are the days when the Kalle sponge cloth was used solely for household cleaning. In medicine, it is used to apply stimulation currents to human tissue; in interior design, it is valued as a sound-absorbent material; and in refrigerated counters it helps with evaporation.
