1955
wega single disc machine, this cleaning revolution paved the way for the transition from manual cleaning to machine cleaning. This was the genesis of TASKI’s success, and 50 years on remains at the heart of our machine range.
1965
TASKI spray system, composed of a single disc machine with integrated spray device, nylon pad and spray emulsion. This method enabled hard floors to be cleaned, maintained and polished in a single step.
1969
TASKI duo mop, a new device for wet cleaning, marked by its simplicity. This clever trolley-mounted system featured a blue bucket (clean water) and a red bucket (waste water), paving the way for future colour-coding in cleaning hygiene.
1973
TASKI combimat 42E, the small, easily manoeuvrable scrubber drier bridged the gap between existing large automatics and the method of using single disc machines and wet vacuum cleaners. Thanks to its versatility, it became the most successful automatic cleaning machine and in some places is still used today.
