Kleen-Rite Corp., the largest family-owned car wash distributor in the country, has been a reliable supplier to the car wash industry for over 60 years and announced the recent hiring of Marc Tyndale as Director of Strategic Partnerships.
In this newly created position as part of the leadership team at Kleen-Rite, Tyndale will assist in developing and advancing important relationships with customers. Along with fostering those connections, he will be a crucial part of keeping the company at the forefront of the evolving car wash industry. Tyndale will advise Kleen-Rite on expanding the catalog of products that the company offers, delving into new marketing strategies, and assisting customers with equipment decisions. This is an especially important role as Kleen-Rite builds a larger presence in the express tunnel segment of the car wash industry while maintaining their strong position with self-serve and automatic facilities.
Tyndale boasts an impressive résumé in the car wash industry with decades of experience. His family owned and operated car washes, and later started Car Wash Systems, Inc. – a distributor and service provider for car wash equipment. Tyndale was involved with the business from an early age, and cut his teeth in the industry installing equipment as a teenager.
After earning a bachelor’s degree in business management from Methodist University, he started at the distribution company as an installer, then quickly gravitated to sales and customer relations. He progressively learned all aspects of the business, eventually becoming co-president and co-owner. After selling the business, he served as Manager of Equipment Sales Mid Atlantic and North East USA for Sonny’s Enterprises. He is currently a partner in Fast Lane Auto Wash, a Pennsylvania- based car wash chain with seven locations in the Harrisburg and Hershey areas.
With his diverse portfolio of experience in self-serve, in-bay, express, petro car wash, and auto dealership washes, Marc looks forward to contributing to multiple areas at Kleen-Rite. On his new position at Kleen-Rite, Tyndale said, "Kleen-Rite shares many of the same core values we reach for in our own businesses, and they care deeply about their employees and community. It is a perfect fit."
