Through our free, no-obligation technical consultancy service, we analyse your specific problems and challenges on site and work with you to develop the right cleaning solution.
We are aided not only by our daily interaction with customers and prospective clients, but also by the extensive experience of the whole team.

Since 1993
Our history
1993
Foundation
Eco-Nova GmbH was founded in 1993. Based in Gildehaus, Rudi de Leeuw started selling cleaners for commercial and industrial customers.
Initially, the focus was on cleaners based exclusively on natural and biodegradable ingredients.
1999
Moving to schüttorf
After just a few years, the premises in Gildehaus became too small. In 1999, the time had come to move into the new and current company headquarters in Schüttorf on Textilstraße.
The development and production of cleaning agents is possible in the new building.
2008
Global economic crisis
In 2008, the property bubble bursts and the global economy begins to falter. Eco-Nova also feels the consequences of the global crisis.
Eco-Nova emerges stronger from the crisis thanks to reorganisation and optimisation measures.
2010
Reach & GHS
In 2010, the new REACH and GHS regulations will come into force.
A huge administrative and organisational feat had to be accomplished. All documents, categorisations and recipes had to be checked and adapted.
The changes presented both opportunities and risks for Eco-Nova.
The first steps have been taken towards optimising advice and solving industrial cleaning problems.
2019
New corporate identity & the pandemic
The outbreak of the coronavirus pandemic once again left its mark. An unprecedented restriction on the ability to act brought major challenges.
The „forced“ change towards more digital working was implemented. The consequences can still be felt today and the organisation has undergone a digital transformation.
At the same time, the entire corporate identity was modernised. The new logo and website give Eco-Nova a modern look.
2022
Consultancy & solution
Today, alongside the development and manufacture of industrial cleaning products, the focus is on service and consultancy.
The organisation is fully geared to the needs of customers and offers a high level of expertise and flexibility towards customers.
2026
Green 4 clean becomes part of eco-nova
Eco-Nova GmbH took over the Dutch company Green4Clean on 1 January.
This acquisition brings together two companies that share the same values: innovation, quality and measurable added value for customers.
Eco-Nova is strongly positioned in the German industry, while Green4Clean has been firmly established in the Dutch market for many years - including in road and hydraulic engineering, offshore, harbour logistics and industry. Together we now supply customers in Europe and parts of Asia.
The founder of Green4Clean, Kees Breij, will remain actively involved until 2027 and will support the transition phase.
Green4Clean will remain an independent brand and will be further developed internationally under the Eco-Nova umbrella.
The purchase agreement was signed in November 2025. The next phase of growth is now beginning: innovation, internationalisation and growth.
