“Because we are a family company and have a drive to<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ue servic<strong>in</strong>g our customers and <strong>in</strong>dustry, <strong>the</strong> future of<br />

Royce Industries looks bright,” Calv<strong>in</strong> says. “We embrace<br />

<strong>the</strong> obligation to stay current <strong>in</strong> all applicable areas and<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>ue to grow. Our strategy for growth and susta<strong>in</strong>ability<br />

will be atta<strong>in</strong>ed through organic growth, mergers and<br />

acquisitions. Ultimately our goals <strong>in</strong>clude better coverage<br />

of <strong>the</strong> Intermounta<strong>in</strong> West, <strong>in</strong>clud<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> eleven Western<br />

States. We plan to reach this goal through expansion of<br />

physical facilities, staff, <strong>in</strong>frastructure and technology.”<br />

He po<strong>in</strong>ts out that <strong>the</strong> groundwork for this growth was<br />

set <strong>in</strong> motion years ago by Royce, whose vision <strong>in</strong>cludes<br />

empower<strong>in</strong>g o<strong>the</strong>rs. “He has allowed his family and o<strong>the</strong>rs<br />

with<strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> organization to excel <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>ir own areas of<br />

expertise,” Calv<strong>in</strong> says. “He has encouraged and paid for<br />

cont<strong>in</strong>u<strong>in</strong>g education <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong>se areas, improv<strong>in</strong>g <strong>the</strong> company’s<br />

position as an <strong>in</strong>dustry leader and fur<strong>the</strong>r foster<strong>in</strong>g<br />

confidence among o<strong>the</strong>rs. His vision is focused not only<br />

on this generation but also on future generations. The<br />

company not only has an ownership succession plan, but<br />

a management succession plan, as well, fur<strong>the</strong>r ensur<strong>in</strong>g<br />

its future success.<br />

“Royce Industries’ products, <strong>the</strong>mselves, are <strong>in</strong>dicative of<br />

our approach to <strong>the</strong> environment,” Calv<strong>in</strong> says. “Historically,<br />

people and companies have used <strong>the</strong>ir garden hoses hooked<br />

to <strong>the</strong>ir home or bus<strong>in</strong>ess to perform all types of clean<strong>in</strong>g<br />

functions. This not only wastes over ten gallons of water<br />

per m<strong>in</strong>ute, <strong>the</strong> lack of heat and pressure makes <strong>the</strong> work<br />

take longer, fur<strong>the</strong>r wast<strong>in</strong>g both water and people’s time.<br />

Fur<strong>the</strong>rmore, all this water historically goes <strong>in</strong>to storm<br />

water dra<strong>in</strong>s, <strong>the</strong>n to rivers, streams and lakes, or directly<br />

<strong>in</strong>to <strong>the</strong> environment where it is used.”<br />

Royce Industries, L.C. works to m<strong>in</strong>imize<br />

this waste. Clean<strong>in</strong>g equipment uses a fraction<br />

of <strong>the</strong> gallons of water per m<strong>in</strong>ute, <strong>the</strong> higher<br />

pressures and temperatures make any clean<strong>in</strong>g<br />

application more efficient and safer, and <strong>the</strong><br />

company’s recovery products redirect <strong>the</strong> runoff<br />

to approved areas and/or treatment equipment<br />

with advanced technology to prepare it for<br />

reuse. In addition, GPS technology and route<br />

plann<strong>in</strong>g software m<strong>in</strong>imize fuel consumption;<br />

<strong>the</strong> detergents used are “green” products; sales<br />

and service personnel are tra<strong>in</strong>ed <strong>in</strong> <strong>the</strong> best<br />

practice use of waste water recycl<strong>in</strong>g equipment<br />

and patented wash-conta<strong>in</strong>ment pads.<br />

With <strong>the</strong> same ability to diversify, recognize<br />

and embrace change that has marked its history,<br />

Royce Industries, L.C. cont<strong>in</strong>ues today to look<br />

toward expand<strong>in</strong>g <strong>in</strong>to o<strong>the</strong>r areas, as well as<br />

improv<strong>in</strong>g service to <strong>the</strong> areas it currently serves.<br />
