What Tekon US does

Tekon US (legal entity: TEKON INC.) is a privately held manufacturer of eco-friendly surface cleaners, protective coatings, and polishes, headquartered and produced at a 26,000 sq. ft. facility at 1773 Wright Ave., La Verne, California. The company sells primarily to homeowners seeking non-toxic, biodegradable cleaning solutions, supplemented by a wholesale channel for resellers and distributors and a customer-only brand ambassador referral program. David Hadfield serves as CEO, and the company operates with 11–50 employees and no disclosed outside funding, parent company, or institutional ownership.

The product portfolio is built on proprietary liquid nanotechnology formulations that bond to man-made surfaces and fill microscopic pores, producing a hydrophobic, oleophobic, and anti-static coating. The line comprises three core cleaners (Empowered Daily, Repellant Wash as the #1 best-seller, and Super Scum Remover), specialty cleaners (Empowered Weekly, Stone Cleaner), restoration products (Glass Luster), and a complementary line of protective sealers (Stone Sealer A, Tekon B, Tekon S). Bundled kits (Bath & Glass, Stone & Tile, Stainless Steel, Countertop, Essentials Clean Home) target specific use cases, with accessories including branded microfiber towels, applicator pads, and spray bottles. Unit prices range from $6.95 for daily cleaners to $49.95 for the Stone & Tile Sealant Kit, with a 20% BUNDLEUP discount across five-plus item orders.

Revenue is generated through one-time consumer purchases on tekon.com (Shopify storefront with free US shipping over $75), wholesale volume sales to resellers, and affiliate referrals from brand ambassadors. The company markets via content/SEO, Google and social paid advertising (Facebook, Instagram, YouTube), and Klaviyo-managed email and SMS retention flows. The brand holds multiple registered trademarks — TEKON®, Better than New®, Repellant Wash®, Empowered Daily™, Empowered Weekly™, Glass Luster™, Tekon B, and Tekon S — with all manufacturing performed domestically.

Product overview

TEKON is a manufacturer of eco-friendly liquid nanotechnology surface cleaners, protective coatings, and polishes made in the USA in Southern California. The product portfolio centers on three core cleaner types (Empowered Daily for daily use, Repellant Wash as the #1 best-seller 3-in-1 cleaner/sealant, and Super Scum Remover for heavy-duty degreasing), supported by specialty cleaners (Empowered Weekly with highest sealant concentration, Stone Cleaner for stone/tile) and restoration products (Glass Luster). These cleaners are complemented by a line of protective sealers: Stone Sealer A for stone/tile floors, Tekon B as a multipurpose sealer, and Tekon S specifically for stainless steel. The products work together as a system where cleaners prep and maintain surfaces, while sealers provide long-lasting protective coatings that repel water, dust, and oil. Bundled kits (Bath & Glass Kit, Stone & Tile Sealant Kit, Stainless Steel Kit, Countertop Kit, Essentials Clean Home Kit) combine complementary products for specific use cases. Accessories include Microfiber Tek Towels, Microfiber Tek Pads, Light Duty Scouring Pads, and 16oz Spray Bottles.

Direct peers

• Method Products: Design-forward, eco-friendly household and surface cleaners (multi-surface, bathroom, kitchen) with strong DTC and retail distribution. Directly comparable premium-eco positioning and surface-cleaning portfolio.
• Puracy: Plant-based, non-toxic natural cleaners (multi-surface, glass, bathroom) sold via DTC e-commerce. Directly comparable small US brand with eco-friendly positioning and digital-first go-to-market targeting households with children and pets.
• Better Life: Naturally-derived, non-toxic surface cleaners (all-purpose, bathroom, glass) sold via DTC and major retail. Comparable product mix, eco-positioning, and target homeowner customer.
• Simple Green: Eco-friendly, non-toxic cleaning and degreasing product manufacturer with overlapping categories (all-purpose cleaners, degreasers, specialty surface care). Directly comparable as a US-made, environmentally-positioned CPG brand selling through both DTC and wholesale/retail channels.
• Seventh Generation: Plant-based, biodegradable household cleaners and surface care sold through mass retail. Comparable eco-friendly positioning and overlapping product categories (multi-surface, kitchen, bathroom) targeting similar health-conscious homeowner segments.
• Cerakote: Ceramic/nano-coating technology company selling protective coatings for consumer and industrial surfaces. Comparable proprietary surface-sealing/coating chemistry with hydrophobic/oleophobic performance claims overlapping Tekon's sealer line.

Emerging players

• Hope's Perfect Glass: Specialty glass and window cleaning brand with premium positioning. Comparable as a niche surface-care specialist with focus on glass restoration — overlapping with Tekon's Glass Luster and Repellant Wash on glass surfaces.

Broad incumbents

• SC Johnson (Mrs. Meyer's / Method): Global CPG conglomerate owning Mrs. Meyer's and Method (eco-friendly cleaners) with deep retail distribution. Comparable eco-cleaning positioning but with massive scale, marketing budgets, and shelf presence Tekon lacks.
• Reckitt (Lysol/Multi-surface cleaners): Global CPG owner of major cleaning/sanitation brands. Comparable at a category level (surface cleaners, specialty polishes) but competes as a broad incumbent with established retail and institutional channels.
• 3M (Cleaning Products): Diversified global manufacturer with cleaning, polishing, and surface-protection products (Scotch-Brite already co-sold by Tekon). Comparable at the category level but operates at vastly larger scale and broader portfolio.
