The success story of CMS CleanTEC GmbH and the brands CleanTEC & Lilli`s Naturals
1987
Our origin lies in the Autoteile Bachhuber company.
In 1987, Johann Bachhuber and Helmut Starflinger founded the company Autoteile Bachhuber, which to this day successfully sells vehicle parts locally and online under the name "Bachhuber Fahrzeugteile Ohg".
The idea for CleanTEC developed out of necessity - the success story began
Unreliable suppliers, poor purchasing conditions and sometimes fluctuating quality even with well-known manufacturers give rise to the idea of being able to determine the product and its quality yourself and to be able to offer an attractive and fair price.
The first CleanTEC products
Just a few months later, the first two products are launched on the market under the new CleanTEC brand name.
With the additives for petrol and diesel engines 101 & 102, high-quality fuel additives are successfully launched on the market, which quickly become top sellers. The consistently positive feedback from our customers about the products and their effects continues to this day.
2018-2019
But growth makes sense and is considered.
Our company philosophy stands for "class instead of mass", so new products must make sense, achieve high quality and effect and be offered at a market-driven and fair price.
Therefore, our product range is only very slowly being expanded to 9 products in the additives area.
Further product areas are introduced
In addition to our basic range of additives, new products in the areas of car care and technical sprays are developed and launched on the market.
A second branch of the company is founded with the Lilli's Naturals brand
A second branch of the company is established under the brand name "Lilli's Naturals".
High-quality and natural animal and leather care products are successfully launched on the market. More at www.lillis-naturals.de
Outsourcing to CMS CleanTEC GmbH
Constant growth, new products and growing exports force the company to be restructured.
The CleanTEC brand is spun off from the Bachhuber company as an independent company under the name CMS CleanTEC GmbH.
To support the founder Michael Starflinger, the businessman and brother Christoph Starflinger joins the active business.
Sustainable merchandise management & expansion of storage capacities
In order to meet the growing and future requirements, a new, more modern merchandise management system is being introduced.
In addition, the storage capacity will be expanded by 30 pallet spaces.
New labeling machine
A compact, semi-automatic labeling machine is purchased and put into operation for small series, individual projects or "private labels".
New product series "two-wheelers" is introduced
Here, too, necessity is the mother of invention, as passionate cyclists we are unfortunately not really convinced of the two-wheel care products available on the market. In 2023, for example, an innovative and high-quality two-wheeler cleaner will be launched on the market as the first product.
