compliant, have strong relationships with<br />
local vendors, and are headed for their<br />
best year ever.<br />
“It’s working out really well for us so<br />
far,” says Sundell with both pride and<br />
relief. “It’s really starting to take off.”<br />
LEANEST, MEANEST, GREENEST<br />
“We are definitely the greenest vehicle<br />

In Sweden, where Sundell learned<br />
his trade, there’s strict regulation<br />
about collecting and purifying<br />
runoff from industrial washes. This<br />
spurred innovation into low-usage,<br />
cost-effective technologies, resulting<br />
in machines that use nearly half the<br />
water, chemical and electricity of<br />

Westmatic’s competitors in North<br />
America. Operating costs are also<br />
nearly half of what they’d be for<br />
conventional machines.<br />

system, Westmatic is ten or fifteen<br />

regulation, making it mandatory to<br />
have a wash water purifying system,<br />
that would be big for Westmatic NA,<br />
and the environment as well” he says.<br />

it’s definitely going to happen – it’s<br />
just when it’s going to happen, really.”<br />
Westmatic also offers a unique<br />
self-service system called the <strong>Wash</strong><br />
Control 3000, which allows their
