About ENJO
ENJO GmbH develops and produces fibre cleaning products in Vorarlberg (Austria) based on the patented ENJOtex fibre, with which surfaces can be cleaned deep into the pores using cold water alone – without chemical cleaning agents. The starting point was Friedrich Engl's 1985 observation that special textiles can filter oil from water; in 1990 his son Johannes founded the company ENJO. The manufactory uses five different fabric technologies to produce tailored qualities, ranging from very fine fibres for sensitive surfaces to robust fibres with a strong cleaning effect. The raw materials are ecologically certified (OEKO-TEX), production is climate-positive, and used fibre products are recycled. The products are sold via an international network of ENJO partners and franchise partners, among others in Germany, Austria, Switzerland and many other markets worldwide. In addition, ENJO offers ecological laundry and dishwashing detergents as well as specialized products for yachting and building cleaning.
