Americo Manufacturing

What Americo Manufacturing does

Americo Manufacturing Company, founded in 1969 and headquartered in Acworth, Georgia, is a US-based manufacturer of nonwoven floor care products, cleaning accessories, floor mats, and specialty filtration media. Its core manufacturing process uses an air laid technique incorporating post-consumer and industrial recycled polyester fiber (15 to 300 denier) with proprietary latex binders; the company reports that all floor pads are made from 100% recycled PET fiber sourced primarily from recycled soda and water bottles. Americo's product platform spans floor pads (including the Full Cycle line with enhanced biodegradation technology and the Black Diamond diamond polishing system using Integrated Matrix Technology), floor mats under multiple brands (AQUA DAM, CHEVRON, DEFENDER, EVERSOFT, OLEFIN, RIDGE RUNNER, Safety Flo, among others), cleaning accessories (TrapEze disposable dusting sheets, SmartScrub, Power Scour, hand pads, sponges), Poly-Flo filter media for pond and aquarium applications, and OEM nonwoven material supply for filtration, geotextile, and roofing applications.

The company commercializes its products through a multi-channel model combining dedicated regional field sales representatives (Northeast, West, International), wholesale distribution partnerships (RJ Schinner, Essendant), and direct international export to over 70 countries via regional agents. Pricing is structured around unit pricing with no minimum orders and two-day lead times on in-stock items across multiple US warehouse locations. Customer segments are horizontally diversified across commercial cleaning and janitorial services, food service and hospitality, the pond and aquarium industry, and OEM/industrial manufacturers. Americo operates as a subsidiary of Clean Solutions Group (CSG), an ESG-focused platform formed in 2022 when Fibrix Filtration (backed by private equity firm Branford Castle Partners) acquired Americo and combined it with another nonwoven manufacturer.
