WVT Group

WVT Group is a leading pan-European multi-sector specialist in cleaning solutions, offering a broad range of high-performance cleaning products. These solutions are custom-formulated and backed by deep formulation expertise, combined with a flexible, automated production and distribution platform.


WVT Group, founded in 1996 by Ward Van Thielen, is a leading pan-European multi-sector specialist in cleaning products. Over the past years, the company has achieved a strong growth trajectory, driven by a broad portfolio of high-quality, tailor-made cleaning solutions, deep formulation expertise, and a flexible, automated production and distribution platform.


Since May 2020, Innovis has been part of WVT Group, distributing cleaning and disinfection products for professional kitchens and food wholesalers under the brand name DIPP Professional. In 2021, WVT Group announced the acquisition of Chemtec, a producer, developer, and distributor of tank cleaning chemicals for the maritime industry.

In 2025, WVT Group further strengthened its position through a strategic partnership with Roam Technology, a family-owned global innovator in sustainable disinfection and hygiene solutions for agriculture, livestock, healthcare, and industry. This partnership was accompanied by the entry of a new financial partner, Siparex, alongside existing investor Sofindev.


The entry of Sofindev marks a new milestone in the growth and development of WVT Industries. With Sofindev’s expertise and support, we are well-equipped to further strengthen our market position and expand our platform internationally.

Sofindev is proud to support the combination of WVT Group and Roam Technology. This strategic partnership marks an important milestone, as WVT Group significantly expands its footprint — in terms of market segments, product and solution offerings, international presence, and scientific capabilities.

The combined group holds tremendous potential in industry expertise, innovation, geographic expansion, and acquisitions within a highly fragmented market. Both companies reinforce each other’s ambition to become a global and trusted partner in biosecurity solutions.
