About Us
 
Clean Plus, Inc. is a privately held corporation chartered under the laws of the State of Minnesota in 1982.
 
The Company was established to develop and market Clean Plus Hand Soap. Sales of Clean Plus have established it as a formidable competitor in the vast industrial hand cleaner market across the U.S. and Canada and has earned a substantial reputation as a product of the highest quality.
 
As a company, Clean Plus, Inc. is known for its dedication to customer service and satisfaction. It has recently expanded its international market penetration with exports to Europe, The Middle East and Pacific Rim Nations.

In August of 1987, Clean Plus, Inc. purchased the assets of Tarkelp Manufacturing, a firm that developed, manufactured and marketed Tarkelp Hand Soap since 1931. Since that time, Clean Plus, Inc. has continued to manufacture and market Tarkelp Hand Soap. It has increased the market penetration of this product, especially in the industrial markets as well as mass-merchandisers and other retail market segments.

Currently, Clean Plus, Inc. consists of four divisions: The Chemical Division (as described above), The Glass Division, the Sorbent Division, and the Parts Division.

CPI’s Glass Division is, essentially, an outgrowth of the Chemical Division. In the year 2000, CPI’s Chemical Division developed and introduced a pre-saturated cleaning towel, branded and marketed as Clean Plus Rugged Wypes. This product, with its’ outstanding performance characteristics on urethane based products, was an instant success in the glass replacement trades, specifically, auto glass replacement. CPI’s distributors, keying off of CPI’s high quality, respectable pricing, and outstanding service, began making other product requests to CPI. These requests have multiplied and, essentially evolved into a business division unto itself, providing high-quality, fairly priced tools, shop supplies and consumables to the auto glass market.

CPI Parts Division began to market its Victory Lap line of automotive alternator and starter repair kits and component parts in August of 1991. From its inception, the Parts Division was designed to serve the international marketplace. Its growth and acceptance in the U.S. and Canadian markets has been nothing less than phenomenal. It is the largest product of starter and alternator repair kits in the automotive market. The success of the Victory Lap line is attributed to: 1) Its multi-lingual approach to marketing 2) Package design 3) Quality components 4) End-user service 5) Prompt delivery and 6) Distributor service.

In June 1995, Clean Plus, Inc. purchased the assets of Jimco Maintenance Reminders and added its service reminders to its line of products offered to the Automotive Mass-Merchandisers by the Parts Division. The Jimco line has been exceedingly successful under the CPI umbrella.

The recently launched Sorbent Division manufactures environmentally friendly, patented sorbent products designed for both the homeowner and commercial applications. With the ever-increasing environmental awareness, this line of products (known as Drip Trap) has enjoyed overwhelmingly positive responses from the marketplace. The Sorbent Division’s products answer many of the key concerns regarding incidental oil spills, including cost, ease of use, and, equally as important, responsible and convenient disposal.

Future growth for the corporation is planned to be realized through new product development as well as steadily increasing market penetration of existing products in both domestic and export markets.
