Bioclean Systems & Supply

What Bioclean Systems & Supply does

Bioclean Systems & Supply, doing business as BioClean Systems, is a privately held Minnesota-based manufacturer and licensor of a proprietary two-step mobile fleet washing system. Founded in approximately the 1970s by current President Blaine Krugerud — who started as a truck washer before scaling the business — the company is headquartered in Blaine, Minnesota, and operates a new manufacturing and production facility at 9020 W 35W Service Dr NE, where custom BioClean fleet washing trucks are built and proprietary equipment is assembled. The core product is the BioClean 2-Step System: a pre-wash followed by a soap step using 100% biodegradable, specially engineered detergents that neutralize each other to return to near-neutral pH (7). Chemicals are applied at the gun through a custom wash gun and a proprietary injector that has been refined over five decades, with a CAT valve protecting against pressure spikes and BioClean E-Heat technology recycling exhaust and engine heat to enable year-round cold-weather operation.

The company generates revenue through a licensing-plus-consumables model. Independent operators pay for access to the brand, proprietary chemicals, equipment specifications, exclusive territorial rights, training, and ongoing support, then run their own mobile fleet washing businesses under the BioClean mark. Primary recurring revenue comes from ongoing chemical sales — prewash ($273/pak, makes 55gal) and soap ($101/pak, makes 55gal) — with per-wash chemical cost of $2–$3.25; secondary revenue comes from one-time sales of custom-built fleet washing trucks and equipment, plus group purchasing economics across the network. The licensed operator base spans 50+ SMB mobile fleet washing operators across the USA, Canada, Australia, and New Zealand.

BioClean's go-to-market combines direct sales (phone, email, web form), an operator referral network, and a flagship annual Operators Conference plus Mastermind Summit that combines business training, equipment demonstrations, peer networking, and an awards program (Operator of the Year, Legacy Award, Developing Culture Award, Best Google Listing, Highest % Increase). The company maintains an end-customer-facing Fleet Wash Directory and a private operator portal. Strategic partnerships span equipment suppliers (Marion Body, General Pump, Harcros, AR North America, Schaeffer Oil), field-service software (Sprayzapp, Workwave), fleet telematics (Motive, Samsara), financing (H.I.L Financial), and sales/leadership training providers (Sandler Training, Congenius, MB Mentors, Scalable Sales Solutions). The system is positioned as EPA-compliant and environmentally friendly, a key selling point when selling to large trucking and logistics fleet customers.

Revenue model

1. Operator Licensing & Territory Fees: BioClean licenses its system to operators who pay for access to the brand, proprietary chemicals, equipment specs, exclusive territory rights, training, and ongoing support. Operators run independent businesses under the BioClean brand.
2. Chemical/Detergent Sales: Primary ongoing revenue stream from selling proprietary prewash and soap detergents to operators. Initial pricing: prewash $273/pak (makes 55gal), soap $101/pak (makes 55gal). Tier pricing established annually based on previous year total sales to incentivize growth. Bulk batches of 1000gal–2000gal available at additional savings.
3. Custom Truck & Equipment Sales: BioClean assists operators with acquiring and building custom fleet washing trucks, featuring proprietary equipment integrations (wash guns, injectors, CAT valves, heating systems, van bodies). Trucks are engineered exclusively for BioClean operators.
4. Group Purchasing Power: Operators benefit from group purchasing power through the BioClean network, lowering total chemical and equipment costs. The network negotiates competitive shipping rates with national carriers for detergent shipments.

Others

• Spray Nine: Manufacturer of branded industrial and consumer cleaning products. Comparable to BioClean as a supplier of cleaning chemistry to commercial users, though Spray Nine's portfolio is broader and not focused on the proprietary 2-step fleet wash system that defines BioClean.

Direct peers

• Hydro-Chem Systems: Industrial cleaning systems and chemical provider for commercial fleets, manufacturing, and heavy equipment. Comparable to BioClean because both supply proprietary cleaning chemistry and engineered equipment to commercial/industrial washing customers, including fleet and heavy-equipment operators.
• BlueBeacon Truck Wash: US-based truck wash franchise network offering standardized commercial vehicle wash services across hundreds of locations. Most directly comparable to BioClean in business model — independent operators running washes under a unified system — though BlueBeacon's model is more location/fixed-facility than mobile.
• Wash World: Manufacturer of commercial vehicle wash equipment and systems serving car washes, truck washes, and fleet operators. Comparable because Wash World provides the equipment and process technology that commercial wash operators (similar to BioClean's operators) deploy.

Broad incumbents

• Clean Harbors: Large North American provider of environmental and industrial cleaning services, including industrial wash and vacuum services for fleets and heavy equipment. Comparable as a broad incumbent operating adjacent commercial cleaning services that overlap the fleet/industrial wash market where BioClean's operators compete.
• National Car Wash Solutions: US distributor and manufacturer of commercial car wash equipment, chemistry, and parts. Comparable to BioClean because both supply wash chemicals and equipment to commercial wash operators, though National Car Wash Solutions focuses more on fixed-location car washes than mobile fleet washing.
• Kärcher: Global manufacturer of industrial and commercial cleaning equipment, including pressure washers and detergents used in vehicle and fleet washing. Comparable as a broad incumbent in commercial cleaning technology overlapping BioClean's equipment and chemistry stack, though Kärcher serves many end markets beyond fleet washing.
• Simoniz USA: Provider of commercial vehicle wash chemicals, equipment, and car wash products serving car washes, dealerships, and fleet operators. Comparable to BioClean because Simoniz sells proprietary wash chemistry and wash systems into the same fleet/commercial vehicle wash customer base.
