It’s been a busy 6 months following on from the introduction of DuBois Chemicals Australia as the new driving force behind Prowash, so I thought it was timely to give you an update.
There is always plenty going on in the carwash industry and as a nationwide industry supplier we try to stay on top of everything, while we remain grounded and focussed on our customers. Since August last year, when we were acquired by DuBois, we have seen little changes at Prowash. The transition has been seamless and the team has been ‘head down, bum up’ so to speak. Our business processes, our team members and our customers are now settled in and we’re so pleased to have the ongoing support from DuBois. Together we are stronger and this benefits you and our growing industry in Australia.
The support from DuBois hasn’t just been focussed on this transition, they have also worked closely with us during this time to develop our own range of carwash soaps. We’re really excited about this as it has been something we have wanted to do for a very long time. Without DuBois, you might have been waiting a lot longer for this product range. We’re happy to announce that the product will hit our shores soon and we can’t wait to tell you more about it.
Our Business Development team have also been working hard and have designed and manufactured some new carwash equipment. The advancements in this new equipment will not only satisfy new carwash owners, but the release will be well timed to offer solutions for existing carwash sites looking to refurbish old and tired equipment. We’re currently working on fine tuning the product branding, pricing and marketing content and we’ll release this in the coming months. Again, it’s an exciting development for us and allows us to help all carwash owners become the ‘wash of choice’ in their area.
We received some extremely positive feedback from our Carwash College workshop held at the end of last year. We aligned this session with The Carwash Show and had attendees came from far and wide, including a few from New Zealand. I have recently received some requests to run sessions in other locations around Australia and this is something we are seriously considering. If you would like to attend a session held closer to you please send your request to contact@prowash.com.au.
In closing, it is important to me to keep the lines of communication open. I love talking carwash just as much as you do and I would be happy to take your call any time. Don’t hesitate to contact me if you want to share any ideas or suggestions for our industry, or if you have any questions for me. I do try to make it to all ACWA member meetings nationwide and would love to catch up with you there or abroad at the upcoming ICA show in Nashville.
I would also like to take this time to thank existing customers for their ongoing support and loyalty and I encourage prospective customers to contact Prowash to discuss your carwash needs.
