Palmetto Industrial Services

What Palmetto Industrial Services does

Palmetto Industrial Services, Inc. is a family-owned industrial cleaning company founded in 1995 and headquartered in Gaston, South Carolina, serving petrochemical, manufacturing, and other heavy-industrial facilities across the Southeast United States. The company delivers on-site cleaning, material removal, and emergency response services through three regional sites — the corporate office in Gaston (SC Midlands), the Charleston office in Moncks Corner (SC Low Country), and the Charlotte/Metro and Landis, NC locations operated via its wholly owned subsidiary Southeast Hydroblasting, Inc. (acquired 2010). Its workforce of 51–100 employees is anchored by senior and middle field-operations managers with an average 20-year tenure and over 250 years of combined experience, a credential the company actively markets as a differentiator.

The core technology stack is a fleet of specialized industrial-cleaning assets rather than software or IP. Service lines include high-pressure hydroblasting (10,000, 15,000, 20,000, and 40,000 psi systems with variable nozzles), low-pressure hot-water blasting (1,000–3,000 psi), vacuum services (5,000+ CFM high-vac trucks, high-dump vacuum trucks engineered to dump directly into 20-cubic-yard roll-off boxes, and 3,800 CFM liquid-ring vacuum trucks rated to 27" Hg for heavy sludges), robotic 2-D and 3-D specialty nozzles including the Hydro-mower for confined-space tank entry, and supporting services such as hydro-excavation, roll-off container service, non-hazardous waste solidification, tanker hauling, pond remediation, and video pipe inspection. The Safety Process is documented as OSHA- and MSHA-compliant and is positioned as central to customer selection.

The business model is project-based and contract-based professional services, not product or SaaS revenue. Pricing is quote-based and customized to pressure, volume, frequency, and site conditions; service contracts are multi-year, with on-demand 24/7 emergency response as a complementary stream. Go-to-market is enterprise field sales, with named regional account managers (Blake Overton and Jeremy Kirkland for Corporate; Jake Hutto for Charleston; Joe Hardison for Southeast Hydroblasting) engaging industrial buyers directly; no digital marketing or marketplace channel is used. Customer segments are horizontal — industrial facilities broadly — with no disclosed named accounts, customer-level revenue splits, or contract values. The company is privately held, family-owned (led by President Allen Overton and VP-Operations Roy Ambrose), with no institutional investment or public-market exposure.
