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.
