PTS Clean

What PTS Clean does

PTS Clean Ltd is a privately held, family-run distributor of industrial cleaning equipment headquartered in Rutherglen, Glasgow, Scotland. Founded in 1997 and directed by Gary Hosie, the company supplies floor scrubber dryers, floor sweepers, industrial vacuum cleaners (including ATEX-certified, oil/swarf, and hazardous-dust variants), Truvox Multiwash multi-surface cleaners, and a proprietary chemical line (Force, Extreme, Removitol). Its underlying technology base consists of third-party OEM hardware from Eureka, Truvox, and Depureco, augmented with documented features including the Eureka ECO SYSTEM (claimed up to 80% operational and maintenance cost savings), BRUSH O'MATIC tool-free brush changes, HEPA H14 filtration, ATEX certification for explosive atmospheres, and the Longopac continuous-roll dust collection system. PTS Clean does not manufacture equipment; it distributes, services, hires, and supplies parts and consumables across these brands.

The company monetises through five revenue streams: new machine sales, used and ex-hire machine sales, short- and long-term equipment hire with same/next day delivery, replacement parts and accessories, and industrial cleaning chemicals. Pricing is quote-based across all channels with no public list prices. Go-to-market combines direct enterprise field sales (including free onsite surveys and demonstrations) with an owned e-commerce storefront and a dedicated equipment hire operation. The GTM motion is enterprise-led and supported by a multi-channel marketing mix spanning SEO/content, organic social (LinkedIn, X, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), email newsletters, and an unusually deep sports sponsorship programme covering five Scottish football clubs and a CHAS charity partnership.

PTS Clean serves customers across eight vertical segments — automotive, aviation, construction, engineering, food & drink, leisure & hospitality, manufacturing, and warehousing & logistics — operating exclusively within Scotland. Named enterprise references include NHS National Distribution Centre (Larkhall), SSE Hydro, Rangers Football Club, World Duty Free (Glasgow Airport), Mersen UK, and Luddon Construction, alongside smaller leisure and retail accounts. Service and technical support are delivered by an in-house engineering team, with used equipment supplied fully serviced with new batteries, manuals, warranty, and ongoing technical support.
