The pressure washing and power equipment cleaning industry is very diverse. It’s made up of many businesses, all of which rely upon trusted manufacturers, suppliers, and distributors.
Without these types of businesses, our world couldn’t properly maintain vehicles, safely & efficiently operate machinery, sanitize surfaces, and many other essential services.
That’s why Hydro-Chem Systems and other organizations come together to continue to drive that industry forward by joining industry memberships like the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association (CETA).
To unify such a broad range of businesses, products, and functions, membership with a professional organization matters! They not only bring us all together and offer additional support, they can become a competitive advantage.
Whether you're a pressure washer dealer, maintenance center, parts/products supplier, assembler, or OEM, here’s why you should consider membership with the Cleaning Equipment Trade Association (CETA).
Who is CETA?
The Cleaning Equipment Trade Association is an international trade organization representing the pressure cleaning industry.
Their mission? Unifying the industry through training, education, networking, and advocacy.
Its members include manufacturers, suppliers, distributors, and contractors.
CETA’s main event, PowerClean, provides attendees with opportunities to take advantage of the benefits listed above along with an industry trade show, member meetings, and an awards banquet.
Why CETA matters?
As regulatory policies and legislation evolves, CETA regularly communicates these updates while its manufacturer & supplier members work in unison with distributors to ensure products are compliant and meet performance standards.
