Nantwich family run firm Opera Hygiene and Catering Supplies has merged with Sybron, another supplier of cleaning, hygiene and catering products.
Founded by John and Marie Whittaker, Opera has built a reputation across the Midlands and the North and serves customers in the hospitality sector.
Opera founder and Sybron director of the North region John Whittaker said: “We are delighted to be under the Sybron umbrella – a win-win for us and our customers.
“Our customers will continue to enjoy exceptional service under the Sybron name and also benefit from the extended infrastructure, product innovation and investment in social responsibility that come with this larger, dynamic organisation.”
Sybron sales and marketing director George Mason added: “We are delighted to be merging with Opera.
“As two family-run companies joining forces, we share the same core values – teamwork and a commitment to exceptional service.
“Sybron is focused on maintaining our USPs and retaining our family-run culture, making Opera a natural fit as we continue to expand our footprint.”
Opera joined Sybron – which is headquartered in Harlow, Essex – at its new Stafford depot.
The combined business is operating as Sybron and the team will focus on maintaining excellent customer service and driving the business forward.
Mr Mason added: “Our new Stafford depot was originally intended as a distribution hub.
“However our new merger with Opera gives us the opportunity to create a distinct branch and a face for Sybron in the Midlands and the North.
“We have all approached this merger with great consideration and a commitment to satisfy all parties.
“The hours that have gone into it have paid off and together we have created an exceptional new team – we’re off to a great start and look forward to building the business together.”
