FacilitiesNet Honors Vaask with Vision Award

FacilitiesNet honors Vaask with Vision Award

Hand sanitizing fixture recognized for simplifying building maintenance and cleaning AUGUST 30, 2022 — MILWAUKEE — FacilitiesNet, which publishes Building Operating Management and Facility Maintenance Decisions magazines, today honored Vaask® with its Vision Award, recognizing how the touchless hand sanitizing fixture simplifies the work of maintenance teams. Vaask is hardwired, so there are never any batteries to change. Vaask also offers a central dashboard via app or computer that tracks available sanitizer gel in each unit, so maintenance employees no longer need to make the rounds to check each unit individually. In addition, Vaask’s refillable, 2-liter sanitizer tank lasts longer between refills. That means less waste — both physical and financial — as significant amounts of sanitizer gel are routinely thrown out when replacing standard cartridges in traditional dispensers. Since you can refill Vaask with any quality sanitizer gel, facilities can save up to 65% on monthly sanitizer costs. Built to last, Vaask offers an effective, money-saving hand sanitizing solution. Vaask’s features also include: The fourth annual Vision Awards honor innovation and excellence in products that contribute to the efficient and profitable building operations. An independent panel of facility executives reviewed and judged this year’s record-breaking number of entries. Click here to learn more about the honor for Vaask. Click here to see Vaask in action.
