A Yorkshire company is in talks which could lead to a lucrative partnership with a German firm, despite the uncertainty caused by the Brexit vote.

Senior staff from German cleaning products manufacturer, Calvatis, flew to West Yorkshire after the result of the UK’s EU Referendum vote was announced, to start exploratory talks about setting up a joint enterprise with the Proton Group.

If successful, the talks could see Calvatis, which manufactures cleaning, and disinfection products and hygiene management systems for industrial use, establish a trading base in Yorkshire in return for the Proton Group gaining a trading platform in Germany. Proton Group, which is based in Normanton, West Yorkshire, and employs 24 staff, supplies a wide range of specialist hygiene items for cleaning and disinfecting draught dispensing equipment.
