MACNEIL WASH SYSTEMS WELCOMES NEW DISTRIBUTOR

For Immediate Release
MACNEIL FACTORY RUNNING AT FULL CAPACITY

Barrie, Ontario, Canada – October 14, 2009 – In times when most manufacturers have little to report but reductions in orders, profits and people, a rare bright spot is MacNeil Wash Systems.


“We have just emerged from one of the best summers in recent memory” says MacNeil Vice President, Vince MacNeil. “We owe a lot to our distributors for delivering to us some excellent business opportunities in some very challenging market conditions.”


As well as the efforts of their distributor group, another secret of MacNeil’s recent growth is trading on some very important product successes. “We are really beginning to trade heavily on our reputation in the market” says Mr. MacNeil. “We’re known as a specialist in tunnel equipment that puts a lot of thought and design integrity into the products we make. With that reputation, in good times and bad, customers seek out the best they can buy.....they can’t afford to make a mistake.”

The company designs and manufactures high-performance car wash systems for the tunnel car wash industry and for the automotive dealer, fleet and rental markets.

Barrie, Ontario, Canada – June 10, 2009 – Ceccato S.p.A. (Italy) and MacNeil Wash Systems Limited (Canada), both leading vehicle wash equipment experts, have entered into a strategic cooperation agreement where Ceccato will market, sell and support MacNeil tunnel systems through the Ceccato distributor network in Europe as well as certain other international markets. The new relationship was launched at the Autopromotec international car wash exhibition held in Bologna Italy at the end of May.

The large range of cleaning solutions manufactured and distributed by the Ceccato Group will be enhanced by the introduction of heavy-duty and high productivity tunnel wash systems designed and manufactured by MacNeil in North America


MacNeil represents the synthesis of the best American tunnel technology, and is recognized as the industry leader in technological innovation and product development which set the industry standards that others attempt to follow. MacNeil product innovations are driven by responding to the needs of car wash operators.

"By combining our technological expertise, we can offer our customers a more advanced and more comprehensive range of tunnel washing solutions; a market we see presently active and changing. The wash accuracy largely required in Europe will be combined with the typical North American throughput, with the goal of providing the best possible return on investment for high volume wash locations" says Riccardo Dolcetta, Ceccato Commercial and Marketing Director.

The alliance foresees the marketing of MacNeil products through the Ceccato distribution network, and provides, among Ceccato's other tunnel washing systems, a new level of offering for the market. The MacNeil car wash systems will be branded MacNeil-Ceccato for the European market.

Carwash Plan Approved for In-bay Conversion
05/26/2009

Although officials in Comox, British Columbia, are considering a ban on future drive-through businesses, the city council unanimously approved a Suds City Carwash plan to convert one of its self-serve bays into a touchless wash bay, according to a report by Canada.com. The carwash already has one drive-through bay.

The project calls for an additional drive-through bay and five self-service bays. The carwash currently has six self-serve bays and one in-bay automatic. Town officials are apparently considering a ban on future drive-throughs for businesses, such as fast-food restaurants and banks, as a way to cut down on carbon emissions caused by idling vehicles. The carwash owner proposed to include signage encouraging motorists to turn off their vehicles while waiting.
