About
Aridom Sanex is a UK-based company driving innovation in sustainable hygiene for the agri-food sector. Our brand is built on the belief that hygiene and sustainability must go hand in hand, especially in the face of mounting pressure to reduce food waste, enhance biosecurity, and transition toward net-zero operations. We offer a proven suite of eco-conscious disinfection technologies, from nanobubble-enhanced water treatment to automated eco-friendly biocide, Hypochlorous Acid (HOCl) fogging and zero-waste surface cleaning. With successful proof-of-concept trials completed in the glasshouse environment and a strong commitment to practical, scalable solutions, Aridom Sanex is ready to collaborate with Tesco and its suppliers to deliver measurable impact across fresh produce, food processing, and animal housing environments.
