HospitalityBex Private Limited, a business-to-business electronic
Procurement marketplace for the hospitality and service industry managed
by Raffles International, today signed an agreement with Kimberly-Clark Corporation's Professional Sector to manage tissue product purchases for
clients in the lodging segment.
Kimberly-Clark Professional products range from bath and facial tissue to air
freshening systems, liquid soaps, bath tissue, wiping cloths and hand towel
dispensing systems designed for use in hotel rooms, public washrooms and
back of house.
Under the terms of agreement, Kimberly-Clark Professional will provide site
needs analysis on tissue product purchases of Hospitalitybex's clients. Based on these site analyses, Hospitalitybex will work with the operations
department of hotels, service apartments and corporate offices to determine
operational efficiency solutions for the management of tissue products.
With the site analyses provided by Kimberly-Clark Professional,
Hospitalitybex will be able to streamline tissue product purchases for its
clients, thereby resulting in a smoother demand pattern, reduction of wastage and lower total costs associated with careful product purchase
planning and deployment.
Mr. Wayne Jones, President (South Asia), Kimberly-Clark Corporation, said,
"We believe that our icon brands such as Kleenex® Tissue products, deliver
a promise to hotel guests. All over the world, Raffles and Swissôtel guests
will know the brand and can feel assured that they are being offered home
like comfort away from home."
Mr. Simon Yong, Chairman of Hospitalitybex and Senior Vice President,
Technical Services at Raffles International, said, "We are excited with this
partnership as it benefits hotels and resorts under both the Raffles and
Swissôtel brands as well as many of our partners in the hospitality industry.
