Americlean, an industrial and commercial
cleaning and painting contractor, has
experienced steady growth in Tech Valley,
across New york state and beyond for 27
years, company officials said, and has
changed its name.
Now, “performance” does more than define
the business, said company founder and
President Mark Miller. It’s part of its name.
As the business celebrates its 28th anniversary,
it is now Performance Industrial,
still headquartered on Harrison Avenue
extension in South Glens Falls.
All other aspects of the business remain
the same, including ownership and management.
The new name was chosen to more
accurately convey the company’s position
as a leading provider of industrial and
commercial cleaning and painting services,
Miller said.
“We have achieved the success we have
because of our performance,” he said. “Performance
Industrial perfectly sums up who
we are. With our crews in the field and our
support team in the office, we work seamlessly
to deliver outstanding results. We’re
excited to have a new name that more accurately
defines the business we conduct
and those we serve.”
Performance Industrial is not a janitorial
business. Instead, it offers heavy-duty
cleaning and painting for industrial and
commercial facilities and equipment; HVAC
duct cleaning and system maintenance;
commercial kitchen hood and exhaust
cleaning; and sandblasting for a variety of
industrial maintenance purposes.
Miller said clients include some of the
largest manufacturers, hospitals, colleges,
casinos, grocery chains and banks in the
region.
Miller started his business in 1986 after
tiring of a career driving tractor trailers
cross-country. He invested in a single pressure
washing unit and began cold-calling on
homeowners and businesses near his home
in the Glens Falls area. Today, Performance
industrial has 26 employees spread across
five service divisions, a fleet of 12 vehicles,
more than 30 pieces of equipment, and performs
between 800 and 1,000 jobs per year.
Miller said the company achieved record
sales in 2013.
Performance Industrial also earned the
federal Occupational Safety and Health
Administration’s SHARP certification for
exemplary injury and illness prevention.
“Our goal is to make our clients’ jobs
easier,” said Miller. “We work tirelessly to
maintain our certifications in fire prevention,
air quality maintenance and safety
procedures for one reason only — we care.
That’s what sets us apart.”
Miller said the word “performance” has
reflects not only the quality and safety of
the service provided, but also the parallels
he sees between the business and a successful
theatrical production. Miller compares
the extensive preparatory work that takes
place before each cleaning and painting
job — like assembling the right tools and
ensuring the crew is properly trained — to
the backstage activities of a show. Once on
the job, he encourages his crews to view
their work like that of a Broadway cast.
“When we’re at a customer’s location,
we’re performing for that customer,” he
said. “From the professionalism of our
people to the quality of the cleaning and
painting, we are totally prepared and dedicated
to making sure the customer enjoys
the performance and invites us back.”
