About Evans Vanodine

Serving our industry for over 100 years

Evans Vanodine has been developing and manufacturing consistent, efficient and cost-effective cleaning and hygiene products for over 100 years.

Established in 1919 by William Charles Evans, under the title of W.C. Evans, in Salford, Manchester, the company initially began producing spraying essences for cinemas. It then branched out into manufacturing disinfectants, liquid soaps and various types of powders. Over the years, the company, which is still owned and run by the Evans family, has grown from one small laboratory and an office to become a world leader in the industrial, food process and animal health sectors. The company currently exports to over 80 countries worldwide, with 4 overseas facilities.

Our Team

Despite all the change and growth over the years, one thing that has remained constant is the commitment and dedication of the Evans family and staff.

William’s legacy is continuing thanks to the fifth generation of Evans, now working for the company. We believe that our staff are one of our greatest assets who play a huge part in the success and growth of the company. We are incredibly proud that a fifth of the men and women amongst us have been with the company for more than 25 years.
