About Us

The car wash industry has been a part of the Kirikian family for three generations, since 1967. It started with owning and operating full service car washes, which quickly led to the engineering end of car wash equipment. In the early seventies, Art Kirikian Sr. played a major role in the development and customer acceptance of soft cloth in the car wash industry. Over the past three decades, he has been responsible for hundreds of car wash installations throughout the Northeast United States and Europe. In the late eighties, Art Kirikian Sr. was joined by his three sons: Serko, Chris, and Art Jr., who took over the responsibilities of running the full service car washes, as well as assisting on the equipment side of the family business. Striving to improve existing car wash equipment technology resulted in the family partnership of Kirikian Industries, which led to the creation and development of the Neoglide technology.

Kirikian Industries is in the forefront of foam washing material technology, ushering a new generation of Neoglide washing material. We have successfully converted hundreds of car washes throughout North America and Europe to Neoglide. We consider ourselves operators first, and have developed the Neoglide technology from and operator's standpoint. We are committed to customer service because we know and understand that customer service is the most important aspect for a car wash operator. We are always striving to improve and enhance the Neoglide technology, always trying to give our customers the best foam washing material on the market today.
