25 Year old established industrial detergent manufacturing business
Business Description
Turnkey opportunity to acquire Keystone Clean-X, a profitable manufacturer and supplier of industrial degreasers and cleaning compounds serving the pressure washing, truck washing, food processing, and industrial cleaning markets. In business since 2000 with ove 25 years of formulation expertise, the company sells through its patented Clean-X brand and is recognized as the originator of the two-step cold-water brushless truck washing system.
The business manufactures a highly concentrated, environmentally friendly, biodegradable, and phosphate-free product line spanning multiple categories: heavy-duty vehicle and concrete cleaners (Clean-X Clout, Turbo X2, Lime-Blast), commercial kitchen hood and vent degreasers (Clean-X 86, safe for food plants and meat/dairy facilities), parts and cabinet washer powders (CW 77/DL with D-limonene), acidic aluminum brighteners (Aluma Brite / A-Brite-X), and specialty sodium-chlorite sanitation products for mushroom farming (Duo-Brite 8/12/15). Products are offered in both concentrate and ready-to-use formats.
Key value drivers for a buyer include:
Proprietary IP and brand — patented Clean-X brand, trademarks, and closely held custom formulations developed in-house.
Diversified customer base — sells to distributors and end users across industrial cleaning, pressure washing, truck/fleet washing, food processing, and agricultural sanitation, reducing reliance on any single market.
Recurring, consumable revenue — cleaning chemicals are used and repurchased continuously, supporting repeat orders.
Established distributor channel — an active distributor program provides a built-in path to scale.
In-house manufacturing with consulting and custom-formulation capabilities, creating additional service revenue and customer stickiness.
Growth opportunities are significant and largely untapped, including expanding the distributor network into new regions, adding e-commerce and direct online sales, broadening the private-label/custom-formulation business, and increasing marketing to national fleet and franchise accounts.
The business operates from a facility in Cinnaminson, New Jersey. Asking price: 120000. Gross revenue : 22000 Sale includes brand, formulations, equipment, inventory, and customer/distributor relationships. Seller is willing to provide a reasonable training and transition period to ensure continuity.
Financials and SDS/product documentation available to qualified buyers upon signing a non-disclosure agreement.
