What Pressure-Pro does
Pressure-Pro, Inc. is a US-based manufacturer of commercial and industrial pressure washing equipment headquartered in Fort Pierce, Florida, founded in 1994 by Dale Reed and acquired by Nilfisk, the global professional cleaning equipment conglomerate, in 2015. The company designs and assembles cold water, hot water, gas, diesel, and electric pressure washers ranging from semi-professional to industrial-duty configurations, supported by proprietary components including the Terminator Pump, Slap Happy pre-plumbed pump assemblies, and aircraft-grade aluminum frames carrying a lifetime warranty. Its product portfolio spans stationary units, trailer-mounted systems, custom builds enabled by an in-house metal fabrication shop, and a comprehensive replacement parts and accessories catalog including surface cleaners, hose reels, and pumps from AR, CAT, and General Pump brands.
Pressure-Pro distributes products primarily through a nationwide authorized dealer network supported by coast-to-coast warehouse presence, Regional Managers, an inside sales team, and a Technical Support department with decades of experience; direct quote-based sales and rental distribution supplement the channel. Customer segments include professional cleaning contractors, commercial and industrial facilities, equipment rental companies, agricultural operations (with particular emphasis on bio-security cleaning), hardware and home improvement dealers, and heavy-duty homeowners. Pricing is opaque and quote-based, with no public price lists; revenue is generated almost entirely through hardware sales of equipment, parts, and accessories.
Operationally, the company maintains 100,000+ square feet of combined warehouse space at Fort Pierce, runs an own-fleet daily delivery operation across Florida, and participates in major industry trade shows including IPPE, the National Hardware Show, and GIE+EXPO. As a wholly-owned subsidiary of Nilfisk, Pressure-Pro also cross-sells the Nilfisk HPW replacement parts catalog and showcases Hydro Tek products alongside its own lineup. The business model is fundamentally a traditional industrial equipment manufacturer-distributor with no disclosed software, AI, or recurring-revenue components.
