For the German market, their main focus is the food industry (meat processing, chicken processing, hatcheries, bakeries, etcetera). The food industry makes high demands of hygiene. For example, the packaging, transport equipment and tools in the chicken meat industry can become extremely fouled and contaminated and must be cleaned repeatedly.
