CTOs on the Move

In 1969 Michael C. Palmer was a carpet cleaner. After seeing a crude homemade truckmount put together by a cleaner, Mike told himself that he could do it better. Starting in his garage, he set out to do just that. His training as a jet engine mechanic in the military and natural born talent were his only assets to begin with. His first machine was so good, a friend asked him to build one for him. After a while, Mike had so many people wanting machines that he started hiring his neighbors to help and thus HydraMaster Began in 1971. ...

In 1969 Michael C. Palmer was a carpet cleaner. After seeing a crude homemade truckmount put together by a cleaner, Mike told himself that he could do it better. Starting in his garage, he set out to do just that. His training as a jet engine mechanic in the military and natural born talent were his only assets to begin with. His first machine was so good, a friend asked him to build one for him. After a while, Mike had so many people wanting machines that he started hiring his neighbors to help and thus HydraMaster Began in 1971. 39 years later, HydraMaster is a multimillion dollar corporation with 150 employees and 90 representatives worldwide.    Then rotary extraction was born…    In the early 80's, HydraMaster again revolutionized the carpet cleaning industry through the invention of a new cleaning process called ""Rotary Extraction"" and the manufacture of a product using the process called the RX-20. This amazing new unit was a combination of the old shampooers and extractors that many carpet cleaners favored. The RX-20 combined the rotary agitation and the extraction of the two methods. This new tool reduced the amount of time and effort required to clean carpets. In fact, scientific studies on the various methods to clean carpets proved that when used with a truckmount, an RX-20 cleaned better than any other method, technique or process.    Rotary extraction has now established itself as a recognized method for enhancing an extraction machine, whether truckmounted or portable. The process is in use by approximately 10,000 cleaners the world over.    Expanding into portables with U.S. Products…    In 2008, the company joined forces with U.S. Products, the industry leader in high quality, innovative portable carpet cleaning extractors. Combined, HydraMaster offers a complete line of cleaning and restoration equipment to fit the demanding needs of the cleaning professional.
