Best of 2023 graphic

2023 marked a big milestone for Sanitary Maintenance magazine as it recognized 80 years of excellence serving the jan/san distribution industry. With coverage spanning everything from mergers and acquisitions to product announcements, technology advancements and personnel profiles, distributors continue to steer topics by engaging with the content in print and online. 

For example, a focus on process improvement and innovation was top-of-mind for jan/san distributors in 2023, as evidenced by the most-read online features of the year. Sanitary Maintenance readers took a liking to the profiles of the annual Sales Leader awards, where some of the industry's top performers share valuable tips and what motivates them the most. An interest in robotic cleaning almost made multiple appearances among the top features, as the demand toward filling in short-staffed cleaning crews with automated help becomes a growing question distributors receive from their end user customers.
