Built From the Inside Out: Why Hygiene Systems Leads in Washroom Innovation

At Hygiene Systems, we’re not just another supplier of washroom services, we’re specialists. Unlike companies that resell inferior imported products, we design and manufacture our dispensers in-house. That means we know them inside out, service them better, and continually innovate to meet the real needs of businesses across Australia and New Zealand.

Industry Knowledge Backed by In-House Design

Because we live and breathe the hygiene industry, every new or redeveloped product line is shaped by real customer needs. We make innovation an integral part of every design, ensuring each dispenser offers practical benefits in performance, hygiene, and sustainability.

Our in-house team doesn’t just design, we refine, test, and service, giving us an unmatched understanding of our dispensers and how they perform in busy workplaces.

Autotowel Touch-Free Paper Hand Towel Dispenser The latest Autotowel includes a more energy-efficient drive module, quieter operation, and an upgraded stub roll feature that reduces waste by ensuring every roll is fully used. But the biggest breakthrough lies in the way paper is delivered and monitored.

Traditional automatic dispensers control paper length by timing how long the motor runs per activation. This works when batteries are new, but as battery power declines, sheet length shortens, forcing users to take more sheets and increasing waste.

Our innovation measures the actual length of each sheet every time, ensuring consistent delivery regardless of battery level. The result? Customers enjoy reliable performance, reduced consumption, and lower costs, all while promoting sustainability.

To take this even further, we are also developing our own rechargeable battery system, purpose-built for the Autotowel, with plans to expand the technology across our dispenser range.

Manual Soap Dispenser Built for reliability with a large, replaceable paddle for easy use. It utilises sealed refill pouches to prevent spills, improve hygiene, and cut plastic use by over 70% compared with traditional soap pods. It also features a multi-use, easily replaceable and fully recyclable pump. This reduces environmental impact compared to the single-use, throwaway pumps commonly found in many soap systems, helping to further cut down on unnecessary plastic waste.

Femcare Bin The design of our current Femcare bin made us the first service provider to offer in-cubicle servicing, a method that is both more hygienic for users and more environmentally responsible than traditional unit removal models. By eliminating unnecessary transport and heavy water-based cleaning, this approach reduces environmental impact while improving the user experience. We are now redeveloping the Femcare bin to deliver the same advantages, with the added benefits of a larger capacity and the ability to monitor usage remotely, making servicing even smarter and more efficient.

Wastecare Bin Designed with a multi-liner replacement system for quick, simple servicing. The internal liner hides bags from view, eliminating untidy overhangs. It also encourages users to ball up paper hand towels, optimising bag capacity. Wall-mounted design makes cleaning the washroom easier.

Multifold Paper Towel Dispenser Slim enough to fit neatly on the wall but big enough to hold XL sheets, meaning most users only need one sheet per dry, reducing waste and cost.

Multiroll Double Jumbo Toilet Paper Dispenser Designed for busy public washrooms where performance and durability matter. Key features and innovations include:

• A push-to-lock, triple-latched nylon mechanism for ease of use and added protection against tampering or vandalism.
• Dual roll capacity in a compact, cubicle-friendly design, reducing the frequency of refills.
• A replaceable cutting blade made from a specialist material that resists blunting. This allows a safer soft-edge design that still delivers long-lasting cutting performance. The blade is engineered to outlast the dispenser body itself and can be replaced if needed.
• A thicker, more robust body built to withstand the wear, tear, and potential abuse that toilet roll dispensers often face, while still retaining the sleek, modern look of our NEO range.

Why It Matters

By designing and manufacturing our own equipment, we give our customers unique advantages:

• Exclusive products: not the same dispensers everyone else is selling.
• Expert service: our technicians know every unit inside and out.
• Smarter hygiene: touch-free dispensing, sealed refills, and controlled usage.
• Sustainability: from reduced plastic to paper-saving stub roll systems.

From soap dispensers to paper towel systems, sanitary bins and beyond, every Hygiene Systems innovation is designed to reduce costs, reduce waste, and improve hygiene.
