IWCA Forms International Strategic Alliances

The International Window Cleaning Association (IWCA) based in the USA is pleased to announce its formation of two strategic alliances with the Federation of Window Cleaners (FWC) based in the United Kingdom and the Australian Window Cleaning Federation (AWCF) based in Australia.

The immediate goals of these Alliances are: 1) to document and promote accurate technical information related to window/glass cleaning; 2) to develop a written ASTM glass cleaning Standard that will be used worldwide; 3) to establish working relationships with glass fabricators and manufacturers within the international glass industry; and 4) to advance scientific research on the causes of tempered glass scratching and improvements in cleaning methods.

Cleaner Windows. Safer Cleaners.

Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. has been affiliated with IWCA, as an associate member, since its inception. We were asked to be one of the founding members. Congratulations to IWCA on the news of a new International Strategic Alliance for the window cleaning industry.

We began our distribution into Australia in the late 1960s. From 1968 and 1992, we had two principal distribution relationships, until those two companies left the JanSan industry. We began to sell in the United Kingdom in the 1960s, but it wasn't until the late 1990s that window cleaning with the Tucker Pole began to be accepted.
