WATERFORD, NEW YORK - Cascades Tissue Group introduces today its brand new towel and tissue dispensing system: Tandem®+. Sleek, stylish and created for performance, Tandem+ (pron. Tandem Plus) is designed to be the perfect solution for facility managers looking to manage operating costs while providing employees, customers and other patrons of their restrooms experiences that reflect well on their businesses and show that they care.

The system features touchless, controlled dispensing that reduces cross-contamination of germs as well as unnecessary paper consumption. In addition of being one of the most compact high-capacity dispensers on the market, it facilitates jumbo-sized paper rolls greater than 1,000 feet in length to dry more hands with less routine maintenance. That makes Tandem+ compatible with Cascades’ full assortment of away-from-home paper towel offerings, including its patented, award-winning Cascades® antibacterial paper towel that’s proven to kill over 99.99 percent of bacteria on hands, based on 3rd party laboratory testing.

Tandem+ is all about simultaneously bringing about healthier people and bottom lines,” said Jean Jobin, Cascades Tissue Group President and Chief Operating Officer. “Developed with our partners’ needs in mind, it addresses all of their main challenges, reducing maintenance and labor costs while facilitating productivity and hygiene. All of this combines with one of the most sustainable paper offerings on the market.”

Available in white and black to fit any décor, Tandem+ includes a customizable OnDisplayä window that allows facility managers to swap in and out signage promoting their brands, activities or offerings on a recurring basis, or to simply remind users about sound hygiene practices.

“Washrooms are high-traffic environments where businesses can educate and communicate to their audiences, so we see great opportunity for our customers here,” said Jobin.
