Our theme for the last year has been optimising our operations to become even more competitive and, at the same time, more environmentally friendly. Our long-term mission to provide Ostrobothnian companies with flexible, high-quality, and affordable cleaning services remains intact.

So far, we have reduced our fuel consumption by half by gradually electrifying our vehicles and establishing a charging network. In addition, we have invested in heating solutions that enable lower energy consumption, and we lowered the washing temperature for our cleaning cloths from 90 to 60 degrees, saving electricity and sparing the fabrics from wear and tear.

Furthermore, we have phased out the garbage bags made from new plastic raw materials in favour of recycled ones. We have also reduced the detergent used in our cleaning by switching to purified water with a raised pH value in our everyday office cleaning. We also started reusing our chemical packages. By maintaining higher material stock levels and planning our routes better, we have reduced our transportation to a minimum.

PCS will be operating at Kokkola Industrial Park (KIP) starting January 2021. “We are both grateful and proud that Kokkola’s large-scale industry has chosen to invest in PCS’s quality services,” says CEO Pia Kivinen. From now on, we can offer all businesses in the area access to our services.

PCS is now a member of Project Liv, an organization that helps vulnerable children in Ostrobothnia. We admire their commitment and want to support this important cause. It’s cool to care!

Due to the continued strong demand for our services, we are strengthening and reorganizing our organization. As we grow, we want to make sure our customers always receive the best possible “PCS-level” service. Therefore, as of November 2020, we have appointed Maria Friberg as sales manager.

PCS celebrates its 20th anniversary on 1.9.2020. Since the start, our focus has been on raising the positive image of the cleaning industry, by taking good care of our employees and offering our customers world-class cleaning services and quality. During the course over the past 20 years, we had a steady growth of over 10 percent every year. We always reinvest our profits in the PCSs growth and have thus been able to strengthen our concept. We want to sincerely thank our customers and employees who have believed in and supported our vision of how professional cleaning for companies should be carried out.

PCS initiates collaboration with laundry service provider, Kannuksen Keskuspesula. Our goal of this new partnership is to complement our services by delivering the complete cleaning and laundry solution by providing floor mat services and washing maintenance of workwear for our customers. The partnership provides an added value when all of our services can be collected with one invoice, one primary business contact, flexibility, and providing quality laundry and cleaning services with one competitive price. Get in touch with us today, and we will provide a free survey and quotation.

Because of the continuing demand from our customers we strengthen and re-organize our organization. With these changes we can serve our customers even better when we grow having our standards on ”PCS-level”. Therefore, we have made these nominations since May 2019:

• Charlotte Jungell, will be responsible for quality assurance, customer relations and business development as COO.
• Suvi Joutsen will be HR Manager and responsible for staff administration, staff planning and recruiting.
• Maria Friberg will be the Supervisor of extra cleaning. Responsible for sales and execution of floor maintenance, window cleaning and construction site cleaning. Also responsible of recruiting the English-speaking staff.

Our plan is to grow from an organization with 115 employees to over 150 without it affecting further on costs and still offering the high-quality service PCS is known of.

A charity project in Finland collects money for children with illness and their families by different teams which cycle to Paris. Internationally the project, Team Rynkeby – God Morgon – has collected 46 million euros for charity.
