With the full integration of V-com Chemicals into the global DuBois Chemicals organisation, a new standard is being set in the tank, truck and IBC cleaning industry.
V-com’s deep technical expertise and customer-driven approach are now reinforced by the scale, innovation and service excellence of DuBois – a global leader in speciality chemical solutions.
This strategic step has resulted in the launch of a completely new product line dedicated to tank and truck cleaning, tailored to meet the needs of both internal and external cleaning applications across
the chemical, logistics and food sectors.
From supplier to strategic partner DuBois Chemicals offers far more than just high-quality products. What truly sets the company apart is its integrated, full-process solutions approach.
Every customer engagement begins with a technical process scan, which analyses the entire cleaning workflow – from contamination profile and water and energy use, to the cleaning system, safety and downstream wastewater impact.
“We don’t just sell cleaning agents, we engineer process improvements,” explained Michael Obeng, business development manager and industry expert.
“Only once we fully understand the customer’s process can we recommend the optimal products, dosages and procedures. That’s how we help our customers clean more effectively, reduce operational costs and meet their safety and sustainability goals.”
A complete product portfolio for every cleaning challenge
DuBois Chemicals now offers a comprehensive and specialised portfolio of cleaning solutions, including:
• Internal tank cleaners, including NSF-approved products for the food industry;
• External cleaners for trucks, IBCs and rail wagons;
• Total supply packages of cleaning solutions;
• Advanced formulations for heavyduty or sensitive applications;
• Complete solutions for wastewater treatment.
These solutions are developed with a focus on safety, efficiency and environmental responsibility.
Backed by continuous investment in R&D and deep industry experience, DuBois
products are designed to meet even the most demanding cleaning requirements – across sectors and geographies.
Global presence, local service
Now part of DuBois Chemicals, the former V-com operation benefits from a strong international footprint with production, R&D and distribution hubs across Europe, the Middle East, Africa and parts of Asia.
The European headquarters in Vlaardingen, the Netherlands, serves as a centre of excellence for development, manufacturing and service coordination.
This is complemented by dedicated regional sales teams and technical experts who provide localised
support, quick response times and in-depth industry knowledge wherever customers are located.
This glocal (global and local) approach ensures that customers receive high-touch service tailored
to their specific regulations, water quality and industry practices.
Beyond clean: Safer, smarter and more sustainable
Modern tank and transport cleaning is about much more than removing dirt and residues.
Today, companies demand solutions that improve workplace safety, environmental performance and costefficiency – without compromising on cleaning quality.
DuBois Chemicals delivers on all fronts:
• Safer processes through carefully selected, less hazardous chemistries;
• Reduced wastewater impact through optimised products and dosages;
• Improved working conditions with less odour, lower risk, and better ergonomics;
• Importantly, by factoring wastewater treatment into its process analysis,
DuBois can advise customers on solutions that reduce effluent load and lower treatment costs – an often
overlooked but increasingly critical aspect of compliance and sustainability.
A serious player in a critical industry The integration of V-com Chemicals into DuBois has created a serious and highly capable player in the tank cleaning industry.
The company combines:
• Decades of experience in transport and industrial cleaning;
• A cutting-edge product development lab;
• A rich database of cleaning solutions;
• High-level technical consulting for tailored recommendations;
• And a global service and logistics network.
DuBois is not just a supplier – it is a strategic process partner. From root cause analysis and product selection, to on-site support and continuous improvement, DuBois delivers end-to-end value that strengthens customer operations over the long term.
Looking ahead: Global growth and local commitment
DuBois Chemicals is committed to further expanding its presence in Europe, the Middle East, and beyond.
Investments are being made in sales and technical support teams, as well as in digital tools, training and sustainability-focused product development.
The company’s mission is clear: to support its customers’ success with expertise, responsiveness, and innovation – ensuring safe, compliant and optimised cleaning processes at every stage.
With the legacy of V-com and the strength of DuBois combined, customers in the tank cleaning sector
