PF Concept Creates a Cleaner, Smarter Wiper Process
Helping PF Concept keep wipers available, collection simple and print production running smoothly.
How a container-based industrial wiper service helped improve collection, stock control and day-to-day efficiency
Smarter Wiper Control
PF Concept operates in the print industry, where reliable industrial wipers are an essential part of keeping production moving. In a busy print environment, wipers are used throughout the working day to support cleaning, maintenance and production processes. When the right stock is available, teams can work efficiently. When stock runs low, it can quickly create disruption.
PF Concept was already using an industrial wiper service, but the existing process created challenges. Soiled wipers were not always left out ready for exchange on Monday mornings, which affected the following delivery. The previous bag-based system also made it difficult for the customer to gather all used wipers together for collection.
Lindström UK helped PF Concept improve the way wipers were distributed, collected and managed. By introducing reusable Standard Green Print Wipers alongside a practical container service, Lindström provided a cleaner and more organised solution that reduced reliance on disposable products and helped support better stock availability.
Lindström provides a good product and a good service. We have a strong relationship with customer service and account management, and the container service has made collecting soiled wipers much easier.

The Need for a Better Wiper System
Before working with Lindström’s container solution, PF Concept needed a more effective way to manage both clean and soiled wipers.
The previous process relied on bags for collecting used wipers. This made it harder for employees to collate soiled stock in one place and created extra handling for the team. When soiled wipers were not left out for collection, it caused a knock-on effect. Fewer wipers were returned into the service cycle, which meant fewer clean wipers came back on the next delivery.
For a print business, this can have a direct impact on production. If the site does not have enough wipers available, teams may need to source additional stock or rely on disposable alternatives. This can increase costs and create unnecessary pressure on day-to-day operations.
PF Concept needed a service that was easier to manage, more reliable and better suited to the way wipers were used across the site.
A Practical Solution for Print Production
Lindström supported PF Concept with an Industrial Wiper Laundry Service designed to make wiper management simpler and more consistent.
The solution included Standard Green Print Wipers, a reusable industrial wiper suitable for the print environment, and a container-based collection system. This allowed PF Concept to move away from a less convenient bag process and towards a cleaner, more structured way of handling used wipers.
The container service improved both sides of the process. Clean wipers could be distributed more effectively, while soiled wipers could be collected directly into containers. This reduced the need for employees to gather used wipers into bags and made the return process easier to follow.
For PF Concept, this was a clear improvement. The customer was particularly impressed that Lindström could offer containers, as this was different from the previous supplier’s approach.
Why Containers Made the Service Easier
The introduction of containers was one of the biggest changes for PF Concept.
Previously, the customer found it difficult to collate all soiled bags ready for collection. This created a practical issue every week, especially when stock was not left out on Monday mornings. By using containers, soiled wipers could be collected directly in one place, making the process simpler, tidier and easier for employees to manage.
This also helped improve stock flow. When used wipers are easier to collect and return, they are more likely to move back through the laundry cycle correctly. That supports better availability of clean wipers on the next delivery and reduces the risk of the customer running short.
The container service gave PF Concept a more organised way to manage wipers on site, while also helping reduce the issues caused by missed or incomplete returns.
Helping Reduce Waste and Control Costs
Lindström’s reusable industrial wiper service also helped PF Concept reduce the need for disposable wiping products.
Disposable products can create ongoing purchasing costs and additional waste. By using reusable industrial wipers that are collected, laundered and returned as part of a managed service, PF Concept benefits from a more sustainable and cost-effective approach.
This supports one of the key reasons PF Concept valued the service: cost saving. Instead of relying on single-use alternatives, the business has access to a regular supply of reusable wipers designed for industrial use.
The service also helps avoid the additional costs that can come from stock shortages. When the correct number of wipers is returned and processed, PF Concept is less likely to need emergency or extra stock to keep production moving.
Flexible Stock Management That Can Adapt
PF Concept also values the relationship it has built with Lindström.
The customer sees Lindström as providing a good product, good service and a strong working relationship through customer service and account management. Account Manager Andrew Upton has supported PF Concept by helping ensure the service continues to meet the customer’s needs.
This support is an important part of the overall solution. PF Concept does not just need wipers; it needs a reliable partner that understands how important availability, collection and service consistency are to production.
Through regular service, practical support and flexible inventory control, Lindström has helped PF Concept create a wiper process that is easier to manage and better suited to the business.
A Cleaner, More Reliable Wiper Service
By working with Lindström UK, PF Concept has improved the way industrial wipers are collected, returned and controlled.
The move from bags to containers has made it easier to collect soiled wipers and has helped reduce the risk of missed returns affecting future deliveries. Reusable Standard Green Print Wipers have also helped PF Concept reduce reliance on disposable products, supporting both sustainability and cost control.
For PF Concept, the result is a practical wiper service built around service, innovation and cost saving.
Lindström’s Industrial Wiper Laundry Service now gives PF Concept a cleaner, smarter and more flexible way to keep production supplied with the wipers it needs.
