Numatic International: professional cleaning equipment made in Somerset

Numatic International is a British manufacturer of professional cleaning equipment based in Chard, Somerset. The company presents itself as the UK's number one in professional cleaning and states that its products have been manufactured in the UK for over 50 years. Its catalogue spans vacuums, floorcare machines and cordless cleaning systems aimed at professional users rather than households.

The manufacturer organises its offer around four product families, each with a defined purpose. Clean Care covers professional vacuum cleaners, described as powerful, reliable and widely used. Pro Care addresses advanced filtration and the control of dust and hazardous substances. Floor Care brings together floorcare solutions, while Versa Care focuses on versatility and quality across cleaning tasks.

Product highlights in the current catalogue

Among the equipment featured on the site is the 220NX, an ultra-compact scrubber dryer presented as an alternative to mopping, with compact and manoeuvrable handling and a three-year warranty. It forms part of the NX300 cordless network. The WBV370NX Pro is a cordless wet vacuum, and the NX1K scrubber dryer range relies on lithium battery technology. The ERP 180 is described as a low-energy machine with strong performance, and the Numatic Quick vacuum offers one-click, dust-free emptying through a pod system.

Cordless battery platform

The company promotes a shared cordless battery network across several machines. Its 30 power-cell configuration delivers 300Wh of energy, with an off-board one-hour fast charge and a battery designed for up to 2,500 charge cycles. The system includes integrated battery health monitoring, and Numatic provides apps intended to support customers through the different stages of their cleaning operations.

Sectors served

Numatic frames its equipment around specific industries, each with its own cleaning demands:

• Healthcare, where the company says it works closely with the sector to raise cleaning standards and productivity.
• Education, focused on creating clean environments to work, learn and play.
• Logistics and handling, with equipment intended to sustain performance and productivity around the clock.
• Hospitality, where first impressions matter.
• Construction, requiring robust and reliable machines able to handle demanding conditions.
• Facilities management, again with an emphasis on cleaning standards and productivity.

Service, training and fleet support

Beyond equipment, the company offers a service layer around its machines. FloorCare servicing and support covers the TwinTec and floor machine ranges, and Numatic arranges demonstrations and training sessions designed around the customer's needs. The Nu-Assist app provides online training as a simpler alternative to conventional instruction, while Nu-Design helps configure a janitorial system adapted to a given environment. Nu-Track adds intelligent fleet management telemetry, and Clean 360° groups floorcare servicing and support. Customers can also access manuals and documentation through a dedicated support site, and the company offers hire and lease options alongside direct purchase.

Manufacturing and sustainability stance

Numatic states that its products are designed and made in the UK and that it is committed to sustainability, a position reflected in equipment such as the low-energy ERP 180. The company also publishes corporate information covering standards, warranty policy, corporate social responsibility, a gender pay statement and a tax strategy.
