GRIMES, Iowa -- Signaling a directional shift towards strengthening its position as the total industry solutions provider building more profitability for car wash owners and operators, Ryko Manufacturing has changed its name to Ryko Solutions Inc. It has also launched a new brand identity program, including a new website at www.ryko.com.
"When you start with superior equipment, add a national network of highly trained service technicians, blend in environmentally safe, cost-effective chemicals and a marketing support structure [image-nocss] that helps customers drive greater profitability, you have all the fundamental ingredients in place that a car wash owner is looking for," said Steven L'Heureux, CEO of Ryko Solutions. "Clearly, Ryko has become a turnkey solutions company and a valued business partner to our customers so our new name more appropriately captures the essence of our business."
L'Heureux added that Ryko's move is intended to fufill the greatest need among operators, which the company said is to have one source to which operators can turn to help ensure that their car wash is operating continuously and being marketed consistently to consumers, so that it can maximize profits.
"Our premier and thorough capabilities in complete delivery of managed services and cost-effective maintenance and chemical programs makes that possible," L'Heureux said.
As part of the company's new brand identity program, a new corporate logo and upgraded website were recently introduced. The new website is designed to be an industry resource for customers and potential investors seeking ideas on how to build a profitable car wash business.
It features an entirely new look for Ryko Solutions, highlighting the company's managed service offerings, customer testimonials, overviews of Ryko's heritage of innovation and environmental programs, a new blog and detailed descriptions of the company's varied offerings in equipment and chemicals.
