History of Kärcher

Founded in 1935 by Alfred Kärcher, the company initially produced heating elements before pivoting to cleaning technology in the postwar era. Kärcher introduced its first vehicle wash system in the 1960s and has since grown to become the global market leader in professional cleaning equipment. The company entered the automatic car wash market with gantry-style rollover systems designed to meet stringent European environmental regulations, and later expanded the line to include touchless and hybrid configurations. Kärcher's car wash division benefits from the company's massive R&D investment across all cleaning technologies, resulting in industry-leading water recycling rates and energy efficiency.
