Kleen-Rite Partners with OPW to Distribute PDQ and Belanger OEM Parts
Kleen-Rite Corp., the nation’s top wholesale supplier to professional car wash businesses, has forged an exciting new partnership with OPW to distribute OEM replacement parts for PDQ and Belanger car wash systems. These units are the core of many car washes across the country, and Kleen-Rite aims to be the most reliable source for the genuine OEM parts that operators need to maintain and repair them.
Both PDQ and Belanger are part of the OPW Vehicle Wash Solutions portfolio, backed by strong reputations for quality and performance in the car wash industry. The PDQ lineup includes of some of the most popular automatic car wash systems on the market. Most notably, their LaserWash line consists of systems like the 4000, 360, and 360+ that are stalwarts in the industry. The Belanger stable is equally as strong, with top models like Kondor and FreeStyler automatics, Legend and Washnetics tunnel systems, and DuraTrans conveyor systems.
Kleen-Rite now stocks the most important parts for these systems, allowing customers to take advantage of stress-free buying and quick shipping. Kleen-Rite will spread inventory to their various distribution centers around the country to facilitate even easier ordering for customers.
Gery Frey, Kleen-Rite National Sales Manager, commented, “Between Belanger and PDQ, it’s a great opportunity for us to grow in the express and in-bay markets. It’s also an opportunity for customers to be better served because we’re going to stock the products and have them readily available.”
Brokering this partnership is an important part of Kleen-Rite’s recent efforts to be the most reliable source of repair parts for top OEM brands within the automatic and conveyor spaces. By joining the ability of manufacturers to produce first-class components with Kleen-Rite’s capacity to get those products into operators’ hands, the process becomes more streamlined for all parties. As Kleen-Rite Vice President Keith Lutz describes it: “Quality products with quality distribution creates an ideal situation for customers.”
