Tucker Manufacturing Co, Inc. celebrates 30 year relationship with ISSA at Interclean Show in Chicago

Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. will exhibit Wednesday, Thursday and Friday at the McCormack Center at the 2012 ISSA/Interclean Trade Show and Convention.  We invite attendees to visit our booth at #4004 at this year's Chicago Show.

ISSA presented Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. with a certificate as a Milestone Member for 30 years as a member in good standing with ISSA, the worldwide cleaning association.

ISSA ... advancing clean, driving innovation.

Tucker is proud of helping educational in-house professionals now for over 55 years, along with other in-house  professionals, building service contractors and professional window cleaners.  We invite you to learn about how our products help organizations near and far.  

The Beginning of new seasons: Schools and Colleges begin again, as others do in there own way

The new academic calenders are beginning in the area, as elementary, middle/junior, high schools, colleges and universities welcome students back for the 2012-13 year.

For some, there will be new beginnings and others will return to the same school they have been attending.  We wish everyone a safe and enjoyable academic year.

We had an enjoyable Summer personally, with a trip to the Black Hills and Badlands of South Dakota, back in July, during the July 4Th Holiday.

We have customers and neighbors that will be wrapping up Ramadan this weekend. Thank you for the cards and communications.


"We are to make peace with those who have wronged us, strengthen ties with family and friends, do away with bad habits -- essentially to clean up our lives, our thoughts, and our feelings." - What is Ramadan?

While it doesn't fully explain an other's culture. Coming from my own Czech culture partially, it is always good advice to get back to the basics and put away bad habits.

We want to thank our customers.  We want to welcome back both new and old customers to Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc.  We look forward to working with you in the coming years ...

Our oldest local customer was in for a new Tucker Brush this week

We hope everyone had a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day holiday weekend.  We enjoyed the three days away from the office.  Time to enjoy with friends and family...

This morning, the Tuesday, after Memorial Day, our oldest local customer came in to order a new 12 AT brush (pictured above).  It's not every day, when you have an opportunity to greet a customer who has been using our equipment for over 50-55 years.  He was thinking it was back in the 1950s.

He needed a new Tucker brush to clean his automobile.  His original brush cracked and he needed to be replaced.

Gene will turn 99 years old this year.  He and his wife have been married 76 years.  He continues to mow his own lawn, but he did give up mowing and fertilizing his neighbors yard a couple of years ago.

He mentioned today that he has bought our equipment for four locations over the years.  Gene is retired from the automotive and recreational vehicle trade.  He was telling about his adult children.  He mentioned some of them are retired now, as well.

                                                                   ***  ***  ***

We are excited about a possible new prospect from the Country of Botswana this week.  Over the years, we have enjoyed doing business in Nigeria, Egypt and other African nations.  Through FedEx, we ship to over 25 different foreign locations. 

One real strong market presently for the Tucker Pole is the Country Canada.  Whether it be the in-house professional at an educational institution or the contract professional for a window cleaning company, the Tucker Pole is a popular way to reach, wash and clean windows and other exterior surfaces.

Enjoying a 3-Day weekend as the Memorial Day Holiday kicks off May 26-28th

Tucker Manufacturing Co., Inc. will be closed May 26th-28th in observance of Memorial Day weekend in the United States.  We want to wish our customers, vendors and friends a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day Holiday.  Our offices will reopen at 8:30 a.m. on Tuesday, May 29th.

If you haven't visited us on Facebook or Twitter, we invite you to Like or Follow.

Our thoughts and prayers go out to those serving in our nation's Armed Forces, as we pay our respects and offer in memorial those who have died in service to our nation and our loved ones who are no longer with us today.

In 1915, inspired by the poem "In Flanders Fields," Moina Michael replied with her own poem:


We cherish too, the Poppy red
That grows on fields where valor led,
It seems to signal to the skies
That blood of heroes never dies.

Again, we wish everyone a safe and enjoyable Memorial Day 2012 ...

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.

Accidents do happen: Are you prepared for it?

Accidents Happen
Are you prepared for Self and Partner Rescue?


August 12 – Pittsburgh

A few days ago a window cleaner in Seattle, WA slipped from his rope descending system and dangled 65 feet from the ground by his safety rope before firefighters were able to rescue him. If this were to happen to you or your fellow window cleaners, are you confident that you would know what to do?

Did you know that if you are suspended and need to be rescued, you only have 30 minutes before shock trauma sets in? In an accident, every minute counts. Make sure you and your employees have the skills they need to save others and themselves.
