"Our industry has had plenty of companies gobbled up by larger and larger corporate entities, including when Nilfisk purchased HydraMaster from Mike Palmer and Steve Brandt. Most of the large manufacturing companies in our industry have to answer to distant stockholders. We are thrilled now to be the first company to move back to being owned by an entrepreneur – a family man with an extensive background in the cleaning industry. Josh Howard is the owner of Bluefin Global, which is an investment company. We appreciate all that the Nilfisk company did for HydraMaster, but our management team feels that our distributors and customers are best served by a company owned and operated by a hands-on entrepreneur. The company is remaining in Washington in the same building we are in now. Yes, we all still have our jobs and opportunities for growth and expansion, but just like your employees, we have to earn that right every day by doing everything we can to take care of our customers and help our company achieve profitable growth. If you think the enthusiasm we feel is fake, then you don’t know us very well. Most of us have worked for family owned companies before, and we are glad to be doing it again."
