Window Cleaning Warehouse acquires Wintecs

Window Cleaning Warehouse, a leading supplier in the window cleaning industry, has acquired Wintecs, the renowned UK online window cleaning supplies store. This strategic acquisition marks a significant milestone for Window Cleaning Warehouse as it continues to expand its footprint across the UK.

Founded in 1998, Wintecs revolutionised the window cleaning supplies market by pioneering what is believed to be the first online store in the UK.

With over two decades of experience, the company has established a solid reputation for providing professional-grade window cleaning tools and exceptional customer service. Its rich heritage and esteemed position in the industry align seamlessly with Window Cleaning Warehouse's vision of growth and innovation.

In line with its commitment to expanding its services and enhancing customer experience, Window Cleaning Warehouse has acquired a site in the South East to establish a new warehouse. This new facility will support its growing operations and ensure quicker delivery times and better service for its regional customers.

The acquisition of Wintecs follows the successful purchase of Pure Freedom (Adepta Engineering) in 2022, the window-cleaning system manufacturing company in the North East. The integration of Pure Freedom has significantly strengthened Window Cleaning Warehouse’s presence in the UK market and enhanced its ability to serve a broader customer base and bring new products to market.

"We are thrilled to welcome Wintecs into the Window Cleaning Warehouse family," says Stephen Fox, director of Window Cleaning Warehouse. This acquisition not only strengthens our product offering but also reinforces our position as a market leader in window cleaning supplies. Building on the success of our previous acquisition of the Pure Freedom Brand, we aim to provide the window cleaning industry with the ultimate choice of products and ranges."

Mark Robins, the founder and previous owner of Wintecs, shares his thoughts on the acquisition: "After 25 years supplying window cleaning tools and equipment to the trade, it is now time to move in a different direction. I have every confidence that Window Cleaning Warehouse will continue to care for our customers and wish it every success for the future."

Both companies’ customers can expect a seamless transition with minimal disruption to service. The combined strengths of both companies will lead to an enhanced product range, improved online shopping experience, and continued dedication to customer satisfaction.

Stephen believes that his company is now positioned to set new industry benchmarks, and says: “Our steadfast commitment to innovation, exceptional quality and strategic expansion ensures we meet the growing needs of our customers. As we prepare to introduce an impressive array of new products, the future promises significant opportunities for growth and excellence.”
