In 1947, Bill Smith
and his partner left Mountain States Industrial Laundry in
Denver, Colorado, to start Dust-Tex Service. The goal of the
company was to provide treated dust cloths rental services.The
main telephone companies were already using this type of
products to clean the rooms where they were installing their
electronic equipment. In those days dust was the main cause of
damage.
Around 1951, a treated dust cloth was used for the first time to
sweep the floors. Throughout the next five years, new mop and
tool models were developted. From 1956 to 1962 the fluid-treated
mop rental service grew significantly. The franchising expanded
from coast to coast of the US. The continuous improvement of the
tools and mops plus the high quality of the treating fluid
turned Dust-Tex into a leading brand.
In 1962, American Uniform Company bought Dust-Tex Corporation.
Dust-Tex not only grew with new franchises in the US but also
expanded to Europe.
In the 1980's, Dust-Tex was bought by Rubbermaid and on May 1st
,1989 thirteen franchisees, now called licensees, acquired Dust-Tex
Corporation.
In 2005 Dust-Tex Corporation became Dust-Tex Worlwide
Corporation and was acquired by licensees that are part of the
Dust-Tex family and have a deep knowledge of the business.
Today Dust-Tex provides the market with the best mops and tools,
manufactured under strict quality standards that make Dust- Tex
a highly respected and well-known name in the Dust Control
Industry.
Currently Dust-Tex is going through a process of expansion in
the US and Central and South America as well.
