Sonny's Acquires Diamond Shine

Car-wash chemical company becomes part of equipment manufacturer

TAMARAC, Fla. – Sonny's Enterprises LLC, a manufacturer of conveyorized car-washing equipment, has acquired Diamond Shine, Wickliffe, Ohio, a supplier of car-wash chemicals.

“Our vision is to deliver a complete bundle of products and services that enable our clients to excel at what they do,” said Paul Fazio, CEO of Sonny's, Tamarac, Fla. “Through the acquisition of Diamond Shine, we are now able to deliver to our clients a world-class line of chemistry, extending upon our brand commitment to bring cost-per-car economics, chemical management and operational efficiency to a whole new level.”

With many overlapping clients, the acquisition gives both brands a competitive edge, the companies said. Diamond Shine will continue to be led by the same management team with no change in day-to-day operations.

“Our shared commitment to their success isn’t as simple as delivering a brush or a drum of soap on time; it’s about finding ways to create a competitive edge for their business," said Scott Sobel, president of Diamond Shine. "Sonny’s is the perfect fit for us. Our clients’ needs come first, and both Paul and the team at Sonny’s understand that. By working together, our companies can elevate the quality and effectiveness of the solutions we deliver."
