AA Badenhorst Family Wines has that calm, farm‑style feeling where you instantly want to switch your phone off and stay a little longer - we sure did. 😍🏡

Behind the scenes, though, there’s a lot going on to keep the cottages, kitchens and laundry looking and feeling that way… and that’s where we come in!

From windows and bathrooms to busy prep benches and the on‑site laundry, they’ve trusted Orlichem to handle the full chemical side so their team can focus on great wine and good food (not chasing stock or fighting stains). 🍷🍕

We’re really proud of this partnership and grateful to be their “quiet in the background” cleaning experts - a full chemical partner, from small family farm cottages to larger hotel and resort operations, we’re the team that helps take your hygiene and efficiency to the next level. 😉🫧

Another pristine installation completed at Winelands Laundry! 🤩🧰

We recently installed our dosing systems and professional laundry chemicals to help the team achieve more consistent results and a smoother laundry process overall 💪

The dosing units also allow for tracking of chemicals giving you a better view of your production and production costs.

With the support of our experienced technicians and laundry team, Winelands Laundry can keep things running efficiently while focusing on what they do best! Based in the Winelands, they offer pick-up and delivery services in Franschhoek, Paarl, Stellenbosch and Somerset West. 👕🧦

It’s always great to work with laundries that want to improve both quality and efficiency!

📞 If you’re looking to streamline your laundry process, we’d love to help, pop us a message or give us a call.

✊🇿🇦 Today, we celebrate the people who keep South Africa - and Orlichem/Christeyns - moving forward.

Happy Workers’ Day to every person who shows up, puts in the effort, and keeps chasing a bigger goal, often long before anyone says “thank you.”

At Orlichem, our story has been written by many hands:
Some team members have been with us for nearly 20 years, growing alongside the company from day one. Others have joined more recently, bringing fresh energy and new ideas. Some have moved on to new chapters. Each one has left a mark on who we are today.

🏋️‍♀️ Behind every product that leaves our factory, every delivery that arrives on time, every lab result, every invoice, every call answered and every site visit - there is a person giving their time, skills and care. That’s what we’re honouring today.

To our own team: thank you for the early starts, late finishes, problem‑solving, learning, and the pride you bring into your work, we notice. You are the reason Orlichem can keep growing, innovating and serving our customers. ❤️💙

‼️ To fellow business owners and leaders: may today be a reminder that our greatest “assets” are not on a balance sheet, they’re the people who choose to build with us.

Happy Workers’ Day, South Africa. Here’s to every worker, in every role, building something bigger than themselves. 🇿🇦👫

When cement build‑up looks “impossible”, that’s when the chemistry gets interesting.😎

In this demo in Johannesburg, our sales rep, Mangaliso, put Cement Remover M and Auto‑Shine to work on a piece of equipment that had been buried under layers of cement and grime.

☝️We applied Cement Remover M, agitated with an industrial broom, left it to pe*****te for just five minutes, then scrubbed again to lift the loosened deposits.

✌️To finish, we followed with Auto‑Shine to neutralise the strong acid, add extra degreasing power and bring the metal back to life before rinsing. One short process later, the heavy build‑up was gone and the metal underneath was visibly cleaner and brighter… with plenty of room to push it even further if needed.

If your plant is fighting stubborn cement on equipment, vehicles or floors, this is the kind of result you can expect when the right products and process come together on site. 🚀

When you finally get to meet the person behind the big sustainability report your boss brought back from Belgium. 🌱

Last week we had the privilege of hosting Joanna Dewaele, Corporate Sustainability Manager at Christeyns, at our Cape Town head office. Joanna leads Christeyns’ global sustainability strategy and is the driving force behind their “Towards a Greener Future” framework - the tree you’ll see in these photos, rooted in principles, people, prosperity, planet and products. ♻️

🧪 She spent the morning walking our team through how Christeyns is embedding these ideas across their business - from UN‑aligned sustainability goals and carbon footprint reporting, to collaborations with universities and research institutions that push greener chemistry and processes forward.

For Orlichem, now part of the Christeyns family, this isn’t just interesting theory. It’s the roadmap for how we bring more energy and water‑efficient solutions, safer products and responsible practices into the South African market, keeping our local identity, while thinking much bigger about people and planet. 🇿🇦

A huge thank you to Joanna for sharing the thinking behind the report and helping us translate Christeyns’ sustainability framework into practical next steps for Orlichem and our customers! 🙏

Last week, Orlichem was on the move again!😮‍💨 ✈️

Our director, Ryszard Orlik, headed up to Johannesburg with our national hospitality sales manager to spend time with the Joburg branch, visit key customers and sit down for some important strategy sessions (with a KFC treat for the team) 😉

At the same time, our national industrial sales manager, Chantelle, was in Gabon, meeting clients and working alongside our partners in the Daron group.

Different countries, same goal: staying close to our teams and our customers so we understand what’s happening on the ground…not just on a spreadsheet.

From Joburg to Gabon, it was a full week for the Orlichem team 💪

We are expanding… again!

We’re busy turning our Cape Town home base into something much bigger, growing from 2 100 m² to 3 100 m², almost a 50% increase in space. This new wing will give us:

✅ Larger manufacturing capacity
✅ Increased storage for raw materials and finished goods
✅ A small retail area for walk‑in customers
✅ A fully equipped kitchen for guests and staff
✅ More boardrooms and office space as our team grows

This is just the “before” and we can’t wait to show you what it looks like when it’s finished.

We’ve been keeping something exciting under wraps… 🤫

Orlichem has officially entered a new joint venture with Christeyns, a family‑owned global leader in professional hygiene.

With decades of experience across Europe, UK, the Americas and beyond, Christeyns brings world‑class technology, advanced formulations and a deep commitment to greener, more sustainable solutions into the South African market - now, together with Orlichem. 🤝

What changes for you??

Short answer: more strength, not less Orlichem.

🚀 Same local team, same service, same commitment to South African customers.
🚀 The continued involvement of our founder, Ryszard Orlik, and the values Orlichem was built on.
🚀 Now enhanced by Christeyns’ international expertise, R&D and product portfolio, so we can deliver even better results, innovation and sustainability to your operation.

♻️ Christeyns has been investing heavily in solutions that reduce energy and water use in laundries and other facilities. That’s exactly the kind of innovation our local communities and infrastructure need, and this partnership means South African customers can now access it through a partner they already know and trust…us!

We’re still proudly local - we’re just better equipped than ever to support your laundry, kitchen or facility today and help you grow tomorrow. 🇿🇦

This is Christeyns’ first significant commitment in South Africa and we’re incredibly excited to start this chapter together for the benefit of our customers, our people and our industry!
