The journey behind Hygiene Certification

Founder – Hygiene Certification
Hygiene Certification was founded by Wilbert Kahmann, a hospitality professional with more than 45 years of experience in hotels, professional cleaning, facility services and quality auditing.
After graduating from Hotelschool The Hague, Wilbert started his career with Hilton International and later Center Parcs. There he learned what hospitality is really about: consistency, detail and trust.
He later became Managing Director of Care Belgium, part of the Vebego Group, where professional cleaning, hygiene standards and operational control became part of his daily reality.
In 1997, Wilbert co-founded Multi-Value, a customer experience and quality auditing company. For more than 25 years, Multi-Value has supported leading organisations across Europe with mystery shopping, audits and quality improvement programmes.
That combination became the foundation of Hygiene Certification.

Guests expect a clean room.
What they really need is confidence. Confidence that hygiene is not only promised, but checked, verified and maintained.
Hygiene Certification helps hotels and accommodation providers make that confidence visible through independent hygiene audits and certification.

Hygiene Certification brings together three disciplines:
We understand guest expectations and hotel operations.
We understand cleaning standards, procedures and consistency.
We understand independent measurement, verification and improvement.
Together, these disciplines create a practical and credible hygiene standard for the hospitality industry.
