ingo-man® go: The next step for an iconic hygiene brand

Hand hygiene has been an integral part of daily routines in professional environments for decades. However, the way organizations view hygiene is changing. Less complex where possible, more sustainable where possible, and flexible in use. With the introduction of the ingo-man®, OPHARDT Hygiene shows how an iconic brand is responding to this development without compromising its core values.

Ingo-man: a brand that set the standard

Since the introduction of the first ingo-man® dispenser in the early 1960s, OPHARDT has played a decisive role in the hygiene market. At a time when alcohol-based hand disinfectants caused problems with existing dispensers, OPHARDT developed a solution that not only worked, but became the industry standard.

Today, OPHARDT operates worldwide, with hundreds of patents, multiple production sites, and a strong focus on quality and reliability. This position is underlined by its repeated recognition as Brand of the Century, a title only awarded to brands that have defined an entire product category.

Why ingo-man® go?

The ingo-man® go is not a replacement for existing ingo-man® dispensers, but a conscious addition. Whereas classic ingo-man® systems were developed for environments with very high demands, ingo-man® go focuses on situations where simplicity, flexibility, and efficiency are key.

The dispenser combines the familiar ingo-man® base with a lighter and slimmer design and is fully compatible with the Euro bottle standard. This gives organizations the freedom to choose hand soap, hand sanitizer, or lotion without being tied to one specific refill.

Sustainability without compromise

Sustainability plays a clear role in the development of ingo-man® go. A significant proportion of the plastics used consist of PCR (post-consumer recycled) material. The minimalist design reduces the total weight, while two dispensers are supplied per package. This reduces packaging waste and logistical burden without compromising on quality or service life.

The five-year manufacturer’s warranty underscores that these sustainable choices are not a temporary solution, but fit within OPHARDT’s long-term vision.

Modular and prepared for smart expansion

For organizations that want more insight into usage and fill levels, there is the ingo-man® go modular. This variant makes it possible to use different pumps from the OPHARDT portfolio and is prepared for digital monitoring via SmartNose technology. This allows hand hygiene to be made transparent without it being a mandatory part of the basic system.

Aimed at professional environments outside the healthcare sector

Whereas hospitals and clinics often have very specific requirements for hygiene dispenser systems, ingo-man® go has been developed specifically for other professional environments. These include offices, educational institutions, public buildings, industry, and hospitality. Environments where reliability is essential, but flexibility and simplicity are just as important.

With ingo-man®, OPHARDT demonstrates that innovation does not always mean that systems become more complex. On the contrary. By going back to basics and making smart, future-oriented choices, a dispenser solution has been created that is perfectly suited to today’s professional applications.
