About us

Progenta has been the leading international specialist in floor treatment since 1990

Our expertise and experience are the basis for a wide range of services for business end-users. Our main goal is to extend the life of floors with specialized, thorough cleaning and customized maintenance in combination with creating optimal experiential quality while using the floors. This means the floors we treat are always presentable. We work on sustainable innovative solutions together with clients and supply chain partners. As such we continually invest in our mastery.

We are a flexible family business. We are mindful of our people’s needs and our environment. We enjoy contributing to the answers to major societal challenges.

Vision

We look ahead

Progenta wants to continue to expand to become a specialist with bespoke floor maintenance solutions for every industry. Our goal is to grow into a successful, internationally recognized partner in the sustainable floor use and maintenance chain. Our vision is based on three core values: Mastery, Environment and People.

Floor care may not sound like the sexiest line of business. But when you see the skill, knowledge and innovations behind it, you suddenly see an industry that is really ahead of the curve and doing really cool things!

FOUNDER PROGENTA

Mastery

Knowledge & skill

Every day, we work to maintain and build on our leading position as floor specialists. We do this by continuously investing in the development of new techniques, products, total concepts and our staff’s expertise.

 

 

We play a proactive role in the chain, from floor manufacturers to end users, bringing parties together and enabling wide-spread knowledge sharing. Our specialized knowledge enables us to provide products and services that meet the standards of our clients, nationally and internationally.

 

 

Our knowledge center, the Spot Academy, has a special role in our mastery. This is our research lab and training center where we develop and test new innovations, share knowledge, and provide courses for our customers.

Environment

For now and tomorrow

We are well aware of the importance of sustainability. As pioneers in our industry, we have completely integrated the pursuit of sustainability into our business processes. In the coming years, for example, we will continue our unrelenting efforts to develop products and techniques that have a minimal ecological footprint. We’ll work with supply chain partners on circular floor reuse concepts and strive to make green choices for our offices and vehicle fleet. We like to share what we learn and discover. As far as we are concerned, sustainability and exclusivity are incompatible. We’re aware of the position and impact our services and products have on the entire circular process, extending the floor’s life from day one.

FROM HEART TO HEART

Our expertise only exists thanks to our experts. The floor specialists are the foundation of our company – our ambassadors for our sustainability principles. They keep their knowledge up-to-date with training courses and are actively involved in developing new products and services. We strive to share knowledge with each other, inspire each other and work on our health together every week. And having fun together is at the top of the list.

In our assignment portfolio, we’re mindful of the opportunities that our company and our sector offers to people distanced from the job market.

 

Progenta is officially certified as a Great Place to Work! This means that we’ve ranked among the best employers in the Netherlands since November 2022. We received the certificate partly based on a survey of our employees. It’s the culmination of our mission to put our people first.

 

“Our goal is to make a positive contribution to everyone’s day. This applies to our clients and partners in the chain, but above all to our employees. I firmly believe that every person gets up to make the most of that day, and it’s a wonderful thing if we can contribute to that!”
