Clean Solutions Group

What Clean Solutions Group does

Clean Solutions Group (CSG) is a privately held US manufacturer of nonwoven filtration and cleaning products, formed in 2022 by combining Americo Manufacturing Company (founded 1969) and Fibrix Filtration (over 50 years of operation). The company operates four manufacturing facilities across Georgia (Acworth), North Carolina (Charlotte), Texas (Groesbeck), and Tennessee (Rogersville), with corporate headquarters in Des Plaines, Illinois. CSG runs two primary business units: Americo, which produces floor pads, cleaning accessories, and matting products made from 100% recycled PET fiber and natural content (including the proprietary Full Cycle line with enhanced biodegradation in landfill conditions), and Fibrix Filtration, North America's only manufacturer of both high-loft and pleat filtration media for HVAC, paint collection, liquid filtration, evaporative cooling, and specialty filter applications across commercial, industrial, and residential markets.

The company's underlying technology centers on proprietary nonwoven fiber processing, with patent-protected filtration offerings and Full Cycle biodegradation technology forming the core IP base. Manufacturing is supported by eight quality production lines on computer-controlled equipment, with ISO 9001 certifications at the Texas (since 2001) and Tennessee (since 2022) facilities, and compliance with Prop 65, REACH, and RoHS standards. CSG monetizes through B2B hardware sales of physical products via quote-based pricing, with no publicly disclosed unit economics or contract structures. Distribution reaches more than 70 countries through Americo's established international sales network, while Fibrix Filtration primarily serves North American filtration OEMs and distributors.

CSG's customer base spans janitorial and sanitation industry professionals (cleaning service providers, facilities managers, commercial cleaning operations) and commercial, industrial, and residential filtration buyers. In November 2023 the company acquired HDK Industries (wire back and self-supporting filtration media) and integrated it under the Fibrix Filtration brand to strengthen air and liquid filtration positioning. PromoMatting operates as a sub-brand for custom logo and entrance mats. The company is led by CEO John Montigny, President JR Baccus, and CFO Steve Bueche, with site-level VPs of Operations across each manufacturing facility. No external private equity or venture capital backing has been disclosed.
