What Jenfab Cleaning Solutions does

Jenfab Cleaning Solutions is a privately held US industrial equipment manufacturer founded in 1960 and headquartered in Springfield, Missouri, where it operates an American-made manufacturing facility encompassing design, cutting, forming, welding, and painting. The company designs and builds custom-engineered aqueous parts washing systems for commercial and industrial customers, combining water-based chemistry, heat, mechanical agitation, spray nozzles, immersion, turbulence, ultrasonic cavitation, filtration, and drying into modular platforms organized into continuous-flow systems (belt conveyors, monorails, rotary drums), immersion and specialty systems (dip agitation, LeanClean 360 rotary basket, vertical agitation, hoist lines, wastewater evaporators), and spray cabinet systems (HDS heavy-duty, PCS front-load, top-load, vertical door).

The company monetizes through multiple revenue streams: one-time equipment sales, equipment leasing, a Parts as a Service (PaaS) managed-service offering in which Jenfab owns and operates the cleaning system and the customer pays per cleaning outcome, aftermarket parts and consumable chemistry sold through an e-commerce storefront, and refurbishing and life-extension services. Sales are conducted through a consultative enterprise field-sales motion with engineering consultation, phone and online quote channels, and facility tours. Customer segments are organized vertically and span aerospace, ammunition, automotive, consumer goods, fasteners, general manufacturing, heavy equipment transportation, medical devices, and oil and gas. Geographic reach is currently limited to North America, with no disclosed international footprint or channel partnerships. The company is led by CEO Jim Chew, employs between 101 and 250 people, and has no disclosed outside investors, acquisitions, or funding rounds.
