Bluefin Global LLC has purchased Nilfisk’s US-based carpet and restoration equipment specialist HydraMaster.
Bruce Daw, Vice President of Sales for HydraMaster, said: “Having an ownership group that is closer connected to the cleaning and restoration professional will ensure that we can re-establish the entrepreneurial spirit upon which HydraMaster was built.”
Per the terms of the agreement, Bluefin’s owner and Chief Executive Officer (CEO) Josh Howard will step in as CEO of HydraMaster, while the current leadership team will continue to be an ‘important part of this new company’. The company’s global headquarters will remain in Mukilteo, Washington.
Mr. Howard said: “Over the last 47 years, HydraMaster has pioneered and built a legacy brand that is the recognised leader in the carpet and restoration equipment industry. The future vision is to continue the great legacy of HydraMaster while building and investing in the people and customers of HydraMaster.
“A strategic plan for the future will be focused on how HydraMaster can evolve from good to great while leaving a lasting impact on the people and industry around them. I believe the greatest days are ahead for the HydraMaster company, and with the dedicated and talented team at HydraMaster we will do great things in the cleaning industry.”
