Ramon Hygiene Shortlisted for Back of House Product Innovation at the FPA Awards 2026
Ramon Hygiene Products has been shortlisted in the Back of House Product Innovation category at the Foodservice Packaging Association Awards 2026, recognising the operational and supply-chain impact of its patented Trinity Socket Mop System.
The awards ceremony will take place on 5 March 2026 at The Grand Hotel, bringing together suppliers, manufacturers and distributors from across the sector.
Back of House Innovation That Simplifies Supply
The Back of House Product Innovation category celebrates products that improve efficiency, reduce complexity and deliver measurable operational benefits behind the scenes.
The Trinity Socket Mop System was developed specifically to address a long standing back-of-house challenge within professional cleaning: multiple mop systems requiring multiple sockets, handles and SKUs.
Designed and manufactured in the UK, Trinity delivers true multi-fit compatibility across the most widely used commercial handles, including Exel, Interchange, commercial screw threaded, HX and wooden handles. This allows one socket system to replace several traditional alternatives.
Clear Operational Benefits for Distributors
By consolidating handle compatibility, Trinity enables distributors to simplify their mop ranges while improving availability and service levels.
Key benefits include:
- Reduced SKU counts
- Improved stock availability and continuity of supply
- Lower storage, handling and picking complexity
- Simpler ordering, training and replenishment
- Leaner inventory and improved working capital
- New business opportunities
- Removed supplier lock in and expensive handle replacement schemes
One Socket Across a Complete Mop Range
The Trinity Socket is available across Ramon Hygiene’s full traditional socket mop portfolio, including Hygiene, PY, Twine and Non-Woven mop types, in multiple weights and five colour-coded options.
This allows distributors to standardise the socket without restricting mop choice, supporting hygiene compliance while maintaining flexibility for end users across foodservice, healthcare and FM environments.
UK-Manufactured for Reliable Supply
All Trinity socket mops are manufactured in the UK at Ramon Hygiene’s Leicestershire facility, following recent significant investment in production capacity. This ensures:
- Consistent, CHSA-aligned quality
- Reliable and resilient UK supply
- Reduced transport impact
- Faster response to demand fluctuations
The Back of House Product Innovation shortlisting reflects both the technical design of Trinity and its value as a range-simplifying, supply-efficient solution.
Looking Ahead to Awards Night
Finalists will gather in Brighton on 5 March 2026 to celebrate innovation across the sector. For Ramon Hygiene Products, Trinity’s shortlisting highlights the importance of practical, behind-the-scenes innovation — products designed to make professional cleaning supply chains work better.
