Glanaco

What Glanaco does

Glanaco is an Ireland-based, privately held manufacturer of vehicle tire and wheel wash systems, founded in 2007 and headquartered in Charleville, Co. Cork, with a regional presence in Lake Elsinore, California. The company designs and builds modular, mobile wash systems (7FT, 13FT, 20FT spray systems, wheel wash bath systems, and bespoke modular configurations) for construction sites, quarries, mines and waste facilities, with stated daily throughputs ranging from 60 to 350 truck movements per system. Core technology combines high direct-spray nozzle counts, water-recycling tanks (2,642–7,925 gallons), PLC control panels, and cellular-connected sensors that log sump levels, turbidity, pump pressure and wash-cycle counts for automated compliance reporting.

Revenue is generated primarily through direct hardware sales and rentals of tire wash systems, priced quote-by-quote via phone and email, with customers able to buy or rent. Glanaco distributes through a partner/dealer network spanning the USA (ACE Equipment), UK, Ireland and Germany, complemented by direct sales, and serves enterprise customers in construction and civil engineering (O'Flynn Construction, SISK Group, BAM Civil, JACOBS, BLU 3 among named references). The value proposition centers on regulatory compliance (NPDES stormwater, EU environmental/health & safety/planning obligations), water efficiency (2 gallons per truck on recirculating systems), and redeployable modular design that can move with site work. There are no disclosed funding rounds, revenue figures, or acquisitions; the company appears to be founder-owned and operationally self-funded.
